Despite the withdrawal of Arena Motorsport at the end of last season, two Ford Focuses will make their WTCC return later this season with Rotek Racing.
Rotek Racing, a team that usually races in VLN (a German GT/Touring Cars series which features races exclusively on the old Nordschleife circuit at the Nurburgring), purchased the existing cars from Arena Motorsport.
Rotek Racing's aim is to make its WTCC debut in Portugal at the end of June.
American driver Robb Holland, who has made several appearances in WTCC and British Touring Car Championship last season, will drive the first car, while his teammate still has to be announced. The objective is to run a 100% American team, and to move it to Sonoma, California.
Moreover, in an interview with German website Motorsport-Total, WTCC promoter, Marcello Lotti confirmed that Citroen, Renault and Subaru are in talks for a possible WTCC entry next year, with a final answer being expected in May.
