Curitiba is a new addition to the WTCC calendar so it presents a new challenge to all drivers and teams. It's a fast track, using parts of the Curitiba oval course and it has the longest straight of any track on the WTCC calendar.

The layout and types of corners on the track is similar to Oschersleben, but Curitiba have more dramatic elevation changes. Especially the section between Entrada do Miolo and Pinheirhinho where well balanced cars and confident drivers can gain a serious advantage through the heavily banked turns. 

Curva de Vitoria has quite a bit of positive camber and your exit speed will carry though all the way down the straight. But go even 10 centimeters wide and you will wash out and end in the wall, there is only ONE line through this fast corner, so line up behind the car in front and slingshot past him down the straight

Augusto FARFUS – N.technonogy,

“The first corner will be important and I hope to manage it from there. The track is tough on the tyres so it is important to keep some for the second race as well”

Jordi GENÉ - SEAT Sport España

“This circuit seems to be good for us. The corners are close to each other and they are high speed.Driver 3 comment about Monza”

Fabrizio GIOVANARDI – JAS Motorsport

“I would describe the track as interesting and good to drive. It’s bumpy but then it’s not the only track on the WTCC calendar to be like this.

Andy PRIAULX – BMW Team UK

“The track is quite challenging and it is a lot better than I expected. It’s got a combination of massively fast and then medium speed corners [...] it is not a favourable track for BMW.”
