WTCC resumes in September

The World Touring Car Championship will resume in one month at Sonoma in California, with rounds 17 and 18 due to take place on 23 September.

This event will mark the championship's first visit to the United States.

In the meanwhile, cars and parts are on their way to North America. The 26 containers were shipped from the Brazilian harbour of Paranagua on 30 July on board a cargo ship currently crossing the Panana Canal. It is expected to call at Oakland, California, on 8 September. From there, the containers will be trucked to Sonoma, a distance of about 60 kilometres away.

WTCC drivers, teams and personnel are taking advantage of the break between the events in Brazil and the USA to enjoy well deserved holidays.
