2011 WTCC calendar

At the same meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council that ratified the 2011 Formula 1 calendar, the dates for the 2011 World Touring Car Championship were also agreed.



The big changes are that the Belgian race at Zolder disappears, while the Portuguese and Japanese rounds move to Porto and Suzuka respectively. New venues are Buenos Aires in Argentina and a yet to be confirmed Chinese circuit. A Mexican round has failed to reappear on the schedule, following the enforced cancellation of this year’s event at Puebla due to security fears in the region.



The WMSC also confirmed that next season 1.6 litre turbo cars will be eligible to compete alongside the existing Super 2000 and Diesel 2000 cars.
