2017 World Touring Car Championship

The 2017 FIA World Touring Car Championship was a motor racing competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile for Super 2000 Cars.

[1] It was the fourteenth and last season of the FIA World Touring Car Championship,[2] and the thirteenth since the series was revived in 2005.

More points will be awarded for the winners of the Manufacturers Against the Clock (MAC3) team time trials (12 rather than 10), optional rallycross-style "joker laps" will be introduced in street-circuits, the second or "main race" on a race weekend will be increased in length to two laps longer than the opening races (with the exception of the Race of Germany at Nürburgring Nordschleife), the points scoring structure will be revised with more points awarded in the main race, and the length of race meetings will be reduced to two days, with testing on Fridays to be abolished and the Free Practice 1 and 2 sessions being increased from 30 to 45 minutes to compensate.

[35] The Monza and Macau circuits return to the WTCC, whereas France, Russia and Slovakia are dropped.

One point is awarded to the highest-placed WTCC Trophy competitor in qualifying and another for the fastest lap in each race.
