Co-operation planned between USTCC and WTCC

FIA World Touring Car Championship promotor Marcello Lotti met with USTCC director Ali Arsham for negotiations on a future co-operation.
“The US market is very important for car Manufacturers and this is why we are seriously taking into consideration the idea to hold a WTCC event here,” said Lotti.

USTCC director Arsham is keen to get a co-operation working with the WTCC and is searching for a suitable date for a joint race weekend.

“It would be an honour for the USTCC to contribute bringing the World Championship to the United States. Sharing the same event would be a terrific benefit for both championships and I’m looking forward to work together with Marcello Lotti. The next step will be choosing the right location and date for a common race meeting,” said Arsham.

S2000 cars are eligible to compete in the USTCC, an important part for the co-operation between the two series.

“And because one of our priorities is to establish friendly relationships with national touring car series worldwide, the logical step was to contact Ali Arsham, whose championship makes the Super 2000 cars eligible among other classes. We have started working together with the aim to organize a common event for next year,” said Lotti.
