A Recent announcement ahead of the new season at Goodwood is that for the first time six World Touring Cars are to be competing for a timed run 'shoot out'. The WTCC Goodwood Trophy will include, Sebastien Loeb, Rob Huff and Gabriele Tarquini Yvan Muller and current champion Jose Maria Lopez. The turbo charged saloons generate around 380bhp are designed for circuit racing, so it should be fun watching them on the narrow and bumpy confines of what effectively Lord March's front drive!

Lord March said, "We are delighted to welcome the FIA World Touring Car Championship to The 2016 Festival of Speed. The WTCC is one of the most prestigious motor racing championships in the world and features some of the best drivers. . .
