A field of 25 cars to race in Porto

The WTCC field will be up to 25 cars for the race at Porto’s Circuito da Boavista.

For the first time Campos Racing will run three SEAT cars, as Hugo Valente (who missed Russia) and Nikolay Karamyshev (who made his first appearance in Russia) join Fernando Monje. Tom Boardman and his Special Tuning Racing SEAT León are due to rejoin the championship after
skipping the previous events in Austria and Russia.

And finally, Pepe Oriola faces his first race in the RML-built Chevrolet Cruze run by the Tuenti Racing Team.

Ron Hartvelt, WTCC Project Manager at RML said: “We are delighted that Tuenti Racing has decided to run one of our Cruze cars for the remainder of the season. Pepe Oriola is a very talented young driver and this gives us a great opportunity to watch his development even more closely for the future. We look forward to supporting them in the same way as we do with our other customer teams. The team is very professional and motivated and we are confident that they will run a strong car.”
