WTCC: già stilato il calendario mondiale per il 2008
During their meeting held yesterday in Monaco, the FIA World Motor Sport Council have approved the 2008 FIA World Touring Car Championship calendar.
The series will start at Curitiba, Brazil, on March 2nd and will come to an end in Macau on November 16th.
The only change compared to the first draft approved by the WMSC last October concerns the Portuguese meeting at Estoril, that has been moved back one week from July 6th to 13th. The change was done in order to avoid the clash with the Formula One British Grand Prix that will take place in Silverstone on July 6th.
