Extra test sessions added

On five of the eleven race meetings, competitors will be given the chance to take part in a 30-minute test session on the Friday afternoon of the race weekend, with the exception of Macau, where the test session will be held on Thursday.

These extra sessions have been approved by the FIA Touring Car Bureau to enable the competitors to check their cars after the overseas journeys or to learn the new venues included in the calendar.

At all the other events track activities will be limited to two days: Saturday and Sunday.
