Who all will be participating in WTCC next year? Didn't BMW factory drop out? Not a whole lot of WTCC information makes its way across the pond :/
Do not take this as certain - as this is just from the top of my head and what I can remember seeing - please feel free everyone to correct it:
5 Works BMWs - Priaulx, Muller, Farfus, Zanardi, Porteiro(Should be the same driver line up although Hernandez is looking at trying to get a works drive apparently).
5 Works SEAT - same lineup as 2008 - Y Muller, Monteiro, Gene, Rydell, Tarquini
3 Works Chevrolet - Menu, Larini, Huff
2 Works LADAs - I can't remember seeing the driver line up
2 Proteam BMWs - Maybe Hernandez and one other (but not D'Aste)
2 Team Engstler BMWs - Engstler and Poulson
Sunred SEAT - At least 1 car (for the SEAT Eurocup round winners)
-------------------------------------------------------
Rumours that I have seen, but I can't remember if they are definates:
2 more independent LADAs
N-Technology seem unlikely to be back as at the moment they cannot get the budget they need.
Wiechers Sport BMW - I read a rumour of D'Aste possibly being in a car.
Coronel - As of Macau 2008, it wasn;t sure if he would be back
Not heard anything on Pierre-Yves Corthals.
And of course you are going to get the local wildcard entries at certain races, although I think I may of read that if the BTCC teams want to race at the Brands Hatch meeting, they would need to get special permission (something to do with the BTCC also using the Grand Prix layout at Brand Hatch next year, which means they would need permission to race the WTCC round)
