María De Villota returns to WTCC

By

María De Villota, the 27-year old Spanish lady driver, will return to the FIA WTCC next week to take part in her home race meeting at Valencia. Like she did on the occasion of the World Championship’s last year’s visit to the Circuito de la Comunidad Valenciana, María – daughter of former Formula One driver Emilio De Villota – will be at the wheel of a Maurer Motorsport Chevrolet Lacetti car backed by Chevrolet España. The very same machine she also drives in the 2007 German Procar Championship.

“We believe María has a great opportunity to demonstrate her value. To compete again in such a competitive championship will allow her to gain valuable experience,” commented Guillermo Sarmiento, Managing Director of Chevrolet España.
