The 9th and 10th rounds of the FIA WTCC will take place next week in the Czech Republic, at Brno’s Masaryk Circuit.
This is a traditional meeting for the championship, as Brno hosted the European Touring Car Championship from 2002 to 2004, and then the World Touring Car Championship from 2006. BMW notched up seven victories out of the ten races;only Alfa Romeo (Fabrizio Giovanardi’s double win in 2002) and Chevrolet (Robert Huff won Race 2 in 2006) have managed to break the German cars’ supremacy. The 2007 meeting saw Félix Porteiro (it was the young Spaniard’s maiden WTCC
success) and Jörg Müller sharing the glory with a win apiece.
Since last year the circuit has been completely resurfaced during the winter, which may result in fastest lap times.
