tyke - no, the porsches have their own Porsche Carerra GT3 Cup (Asia). The overall Champion for 2005 is a 19 year old, Jonathan Coocker.
He crashed even before he completed the first lap in the qualifying session slamming his car into the barrier before the grandstand straight. The mechaniscs worked all-night on his car on managed to salvage the machine before race day! Quite an amazing job by the mechanics..

keeping cool..
this is A. Zanardi's car. He did not race the WTCC i think but rather the local Fortuna Cup race. For those who may not be aware, AZ lost both his legs in a F1 crash and now, he drives a BMW racecar fully customed where he uses his hands to steer, accelerate, brake, clutch etc etc.. all done by hands..
