    WTCC 2007 - Facts & Rumours

    I thought it would be good to begin a similar thread to the "BTCC 2007 - Rumours" thread but on the WTCC and including facts too.

    I will begin.

    Facts
    Augusto Farfus to run with JAS.
    Felix Porterio to run with Alex Zanardi at BMW Team Italy-Spain.
    Flash Engineering to run a brace of Bioethanol BMW 320i's.

    Rumours
    Rickard Rydell to run with Prodive in the Aston Martin in the GT's
    Michael Jourdain to run with SEAT after tests in Barcelona.
    Polestar to run a brace of Bioethanol Volvo's.
    RBM to run Richard Goransson (funding depending).
    Tom Coronel to run with SEAT (it hasn't yet actually happened to thus far we need to treat it as rumour.)

    If anyone else has any rumours or facts to add I will be glad to hear them.

    We could see some Swedish, British, Danish and German teams doing some WTCC rounds (spculation).
    Rumours of Mazda/Prodrive works team.
    Renault intend to enter the WTCC at some stage possibly with next Laguna. Probably not next year.

    No new Alfas, as Alfa Romeo is headed for Le Mans with the 8C instead. A pair of old 156 entered by N.Technology.

    What is the situation with the drivers? I last I managed to understand of the situation negotiations for the two drivers, with one car certain, is ongoing. So does it look like Emmet O'Brien and Diego Romanini are out?
