Muller Considering WTCC Switch
Former British Touring Car Champion Yvan Muller is considering a switch to the World Touring Car Championship next season, according to Motorsport News
The 35-year-old from Lyon visited the last round of the series at Imola and talked to a number of leading teams.
Muller said: "I was on holiday in Rimini and it is very close to Imola. I was impressed with the championship, it is one of the possibilities like it has always been. I talked to some of the teams but it is only the beginning of June.
"Maybe I will do something completely different next year. I am keen to find work for next year since I am out of contract with Vauxhall. In July I will start to work to see which I will do next year, like I do every year.
"Whatever the case I will not make a decision until September."
The Frenchman is the fourth most successful driver in the BTCC in terms of outright victories.
