WTCC : World Touring Car Championship unveils 2011 team and driver entry list E-mail
Saturday, 05 March 2011 04:15
The entry list for the 2011 FIA World Touring Car Championship that will kick-off on March 20th at Curitiba, Brazil, was released this week, subject to approval by the FIA.

Twenty one competitors entered for the full season plus Carlos 'Caca' Bueno's Chevrolet Cruze that will take part in the Brazilian event.

The list is formed by drivers coming from sixteen countries at the wheel of cars built from four different manufacturers: BMW, Chevrolet, SEAT and Volvo.

Marcello Lotti - Promoter:
"We are satisfied because we retain a solid twenty one car grid in spite of the recession that keeps on affecting motorsport activities worldwide. This makes us trustful in the near future, especially when we look at the first full season participation of Polestar Racing with a Volvo car.

"It is also very rewarding to see that all the represented Manufacturers are investing on the new 1.6 litre turbo engine. And this will enable all the teams to switch to the new engines sometimes during this season.

"I want to say that we have signed two year agreements with most of the teams, which provides already a solid basis of twenty cars again for 2012, a minimum guaranteed that we are trying to enhance further through the negotiations currently ongoing with other Manufacturers."
