Three years after its last visit, the WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup is heading back to northern Portugal for two races on the streets of Vila Real from July 1-3. This is some of what you need to know. *A street circuit oozing history and intrigue, racing has taken place on Vila Real’s demanding hillside roads since 1931, when Gaspar Sameiro and Ercilio Barbosa conquered the original 7.150-kilometre course in a Ford Model A.
Vila Real is gearing up to host the WTCR − FIA World Touring Car Cup’s 100th race on Sunday with the three Kings of WTCR highlighting the enormity of the occasion.

Ad/> *The three races that formed the WTCR Race of Spain weekend in 2020 and the two that ran in 2021 have been won by five different drivers in five different types of car.
Circuito del Jarama is hosting ETCR Race of SP until tomorrow (Sunday) and Azcona is one of the favourites for success in a Hyundai Veloster N ETCR. “Jarama is a very old track I’ve been driving since 2012 and it’s one of my favourites in Spain,” said Azcona, WTCR’s Goodyear #FollowTheLeader.
