Auto GP joins WTCC as partner series in 2011

The single seater series Auto GP has been confirmed as partner series for the FIA World Touring Car Championship in 2011.
“We are very pleased to welcome Auto GP as a partner series in six of our 2011 FIA WTCC events,” said KSO Managing Director Marcello Lotti.

“Not only this agreement brings high level single-seater racing in the WTCC package once again, but also completes the attractive programme offered to the fans on site and on TV, that covers all the major forms of car racing: touring cars, one-make GT series and formula cars,” said Lotti.

Auto GP runs two races each weekend. The first one will be on saturday and the second one in between the WTCC races.

The Auto GP series was launched last year and originates from the previous European F3000 series.
