Alan Gow on the future of the WTCC
The WTCC is going through a difficult time after Chevrolet's decision to quit, but FIA Touring Car Commission president Alan Gow believes things are better than they look. To coincide with AUTOSPORT magazine's tin-top tech supplement, Kevin Turner spoke to him
Q. What do you think is working in the WTCC at the moment?
Alan Gow: Its geographical spread is very good, as a world championship should be. Given that it hits Asia, Europe, America, South America and Northern Africa, it's exactly what a world championship should be and it continues to expand its global reach.
Q. What do you think could be better?
AG: There isn't a championship in the world where things couldn't be better. You have to understand the constraints the WTCC is working under - there's a massive global recession going on and business is tough - it can't do some of thing things it would do if the economies were better and there was more manufacturer involvement.
