Revision as of 08:05, 12 September 2013

The 2013 World Touring Car Championship season is the tenth season of the FIA World Touring Car Championship, and the ninth since the series was revived in 2005. It began with the Race of Italy on 23 March and will end with the Race of Macau in support of the Macau Grand Prix at the Guia Circuit on 17 November, after twenty-four races.

Robert Huff is the defending series champion.^[1] Chevrolet are the defending manufacturers' champions, but are not competing as a factory-supported team in 2013, and are thus unable to defend their title.

Norbert Michelisz is the defending winner of the Yokohama Drivers' Trophy for independent entries. The Lukoil Racing Team is the defending Yokohama Teams' Trophy winner, but will be unable to defend their title as they are competing as a manufacturer team in 2013.^[2]

Former Formula One driver, team owner and GP2 Series team owner Adrián Campos will enter the World Touring car Championship with two SEAT Leóns prepared by Sunred Engineering.^[21]

After the Moscow round, Pepe Oriola has announced that he will switch from his SEAT Leon to run an RML prepared Chevrolet Cruze.
