2010
WTCC in the Algarve
Zolder and the Algarve circuit have been added to the World Touring Car
Championship's calendar for the 2010 season. The race at Zolder
will take Pau's place on the calendar after the French street circuit was
unable to
confirm its deal with the WTCC in time, while the new Algarve circuit
is introduced with the possibility of alternating with Porto, which is only
able to host a race every two years.
The Italian and Spanish rounds of the series will switch places in the
schedule, with Valencia sliding back to September and what is expected to
be Imola - although the venue is still to be confirmed - moving up to May.
The proposed race in Russia will not happen before the 2011 season, as
prospective organisers of a race in the country were unable to put a deal
together in time for 2010.
The calendar was approved by today's FIA World Council meeting.
Current tyre supplier Yokohama has also won the tender to continue to provide
the series' control tyre from 2010 to 2012.
