2013 World Touring Car Championship
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]
Teams and drivers
Team changes
- Arena Motorsport—who contested the 2012 season as Team Aon—will not compete in 2013 after its owner decided to shut down the team and concentrate its efforts on Formula One team Marussia F1.[35]
- 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.[20]
- Chevrolet announced that they will withdraw from the series to concentrate on other projects. This leaves RML Group without the backing of a manufacturer.[36]

- After competing in two rounds in 2012, Russian car manufacturer Lada announced its intentions to contest races in 2013 with the Lada Granta WTCC,[2] contesting a full season for the first time since 2009. On 15 November it was announced that the marque would enter a two car team for 2013. However, they later announced that they would enter a third car later of the season.[11]
- NIKA Racing will enter the series for the full season with a Chevrolet Cruze 1.6T having previously entered two rounds of the championship since 2010.[18]

Mid-season changes
- Aleksei Dudukalo lost his seat with Lada Sport Lukoil after the Race of Italy. He was replaced by Russian Touring Car Championship driver Mikhail Kozlovskiy, with the team attributing the decision to replace Dudukalo as being a result of Dudukalo's collision with team-mate James Thompson during qualifying for the race of Italy, forcing both Lada Granta WTCC cars out of the event.[39]
- After the Moscow round, Pepe Oriola has announced that he will switch from his SEAT Leon to run an RML prepared Chevrolet Cruze.
