The streets of Portugal with a twist

The WTCC is back to the streets of Portugal. But, there's a twist on this story, many things have changed since the last visit to Portugal.
BMW no longer runs on this championship, Lada and Honda evolved their cars, Seat left the WTCC and Citroen is the Chevrolet.

Some drivers are no longer in WTCC, other changed to the new teams and new championships and of course, there are the newcomers. Sébastien Loeb last visit Portugal has WRC champion, Mehdi Bennani is racing with a Citroen. Hugo Valente no longer drives a Seat Leon, but a Chevrolet just like Tom Coronnel that parked his BMW and now drives a Chevrolet with DHL yellow livery. Rob Huff is making a fantastic championship with LADA

The other twist of this story, is that the race is no longer in Porto and the amazing streets of Boavista with the Atlantic Ocean on the background. Vila Real is the city that welcomes the WTCC and their streets will bring joy to all.
