Preliminary ETC Cup 2008 entry list

By

The FIA European Touring Car Cup 2008 is only little over two weeks away. So far the entry list is not presented, but TouringCarTimes has put together a preliminary one based on the information we have received. So far ten entries have been officially confirmed for the race at Salzburgring, Austria, on October the 19th.

The FIA ETC Cup started in 2005 and hosted the round at Vallelunga, Italy. The entry list showed 24 S2000 cars and the Swede Richard Göransson won the title, driving for WestCoast Racing, BMW.

The following year saw the race being held at Estoril, Portugal, with 22 cars entered and Ryan Shap becoming the winner.

Last year an impressive field of 31 cars were presented for the race which was held at Adria, Italy, and the Dane Michel Nykjaer became the reigning champion.

TouringCarTimes has put together a preliminary entry list for the race, based on confirmed entries and our information on coming entries.
