    Anyone know anything about WTCC?

    Apparently, it's the third franchise in the FIA along with Formula1 and WRC. It's an interesting series. The footage I've seen is CRAZY. They run 2 races on race day. Both 25 minutes or so. The first race is in qualifying order. The second race is in REVERSE qualifying order. Passing is outrageous. Contact is almost guaranteed. 4 manufacturers this year...

    I'm thinking of hitting the race in Sweden at the end of July.

    Euro-Nascar? Certainly looks like interesting racing, for a change.
