SPEED EuroSeries to Support WTCC Races in New Deal

The SPEED EuroSeries will be one of the WTCC support races in three events during the 2013 season: at Monza, medic Slovakia Ring and Salzburgring.

The agreement signed between the promoter companies – Eurosport Events (WTCC) and World Sportscar Organisation SPEEDEuroSeries) – marks the start of a long term relationship with future broadcast opportunities discussed.

An official international series since the start of 2012, ed viagra the SPEEDEuroSeries is based on the FIA’s CN sports prototype race formula and benefits from important support from Honda Motor Europe which manufacturers the racing engines.

Jean-Louis Dauger, Eurosport Events Director of Operations: “We are delighted to welcome the SPEED EuroSeries in three WTCC events. It is a professional championship, very well organised and delivering exciting competition on the track. It suits very well our aim to offer motorsport fans a variegated and competitive range of different categories at our race meetings.”

Oli McCrudden, SPEED EuroSeries Organiser: “The potential in the CN sports prototype formula is immense; over 400 chassis have been built by manufacturers over the last decade and the quality of the engineering is superb. The chassis are excellent race machines which test drivers and develop talent at limited cost. By racing at the WTCC events in 2013 we are taking SPEED to a higher level and, in establishing the important relationship with a major international motorsport broadcaster such as Eurosport, we are taking another step towards creating an achievable global race formula.”

The SPEED EuroSeries will run in a 2-hour race at Monza and in two 90-minute races at both Slovakia Ring and Salzburgring.
