The FIA World Touring Car Championship makes its maiden voyage to the United States in 2012, and what better place than the raceway in Sonoma. Buckle your seat-belts for a great weekend of fender-to-fender racing on the twisting road course, Sept. 21-23.
What is the FIA World Touring Car Championship, you ask? Well, the best way to describe it is to think of NASCAR, with global flare. There will be plenty of beatin' and bangin' between these full-bodied race-cars in two 13-lap sprint races, both on Sunday. Drivers subscribe to the "rubbin' is racin'" theme, so expect tempers to flare and intensity to be at an all-time high. Sonoma is Round 9 of the 12-race global series, which also features stops in exotic locales like Italy, Brazil, Portugal, Morocco and Macau.
The weekend will also feature the U.S. debut of the Trofeo Maserati GranTurismo MC and AutoGP World Series, as well as the United States Touring Car Championship.
