2017 World Touring Car Championship

The 2017 World Touring Car Championship will be the fourteenth season of the FIA World Touring Car Championship, and the thirteenth since the series was revived in 2005. For this season, there are a few rules changes.

More points will be awarded for the winners of the Manufacturers Against the Clock (MAC3) team time trials (12 rather than 10), optional rallycross-style "joker laps" will be introduced, the second or "main race" on a race weekend will be increased in length to two laps longer than the opening races (with the exception of the Race of Germany at Nürburgring Nordschleife), the points scoring structure will be revised with more points awarded in the main race, and the length of race meetings will be reduced to two days, with testing on Fridays to be abolished and the Free Practice 1 and 2 sessions being increased from 30 to 45 minutes to compensate.

The Monza and Macau circuits return to the WTCC, whereas France, Russia and Slovakia are dropped.
