The fifth season of the FIA World Touring Car Championship will get underway in a little more than two months, on March 8th in Brazil, at the Autódromo Internacional de Curitiba.
Only 44 days have gone since the final event of the 2008 season, when SEAT and Yvan Muller claimed the World Championship crowns for Manufacturers and Drivers at Macau.
For the third time Curitiba will be hosting the championship''s opening meeting and the event will mark the fourth visit paid by the FIA WTCC to the 3.7-km Brazilian racetrack.
