The new WTCC season will start in style at Monza, with a strong field of 25 drivers coming from 14 different countries and at the wheel of four models: Chevrolet Cruze, BMW 320, SEAT León and Ford Focus.

The latest additions were Tiago Monteiro, who joined Pepe Oriola at Tuenti Racing Team, Isaac Tutumlu, teaming with Mehdi Bennani at Proteam Racing and the duo Andrea Barlesi-Fernando Monje signed by SUNRED Engineering.

Although he has entered for the whole season, Monje will race at Monza not in WTCC, but in the FIA European Touring Car Cup.
