The WTCR − FIA World Touring Car Cup is set to visit the Ningbo International Speedpark from November 6-7 as the made-for-great-racing track prepares to host WTCR Race of China for a third time.

WTCR-国际汽联房车世界杯将在11月6-7日登陆宁波国际赛道，这条赛道将第三次举办WTCR中国站赛事。

It follows the signing of an agreement between venue owner MiTime Group and WTCR promoter Eurosport Events.

宁波国际赛道拥有者铭泰集团与WTCR推广方Eurosport Events正式签署协议。

Inaugurated in 2017, the 4.010-kilometre layout has consistently delivered action-packed entertainment, initially from the FIA World Touring Car Championship before the WTCR came on stream in 2018.

宁波国际赛道建成于2017年，从过去的国际汽联世界房车锦标赛到2018年WTCR登场，这条4.010公里的赛道呈现过众多精彩赛事。

Across two visits by the WTCR, three drivers have won races, while eight others have visited the podium, including top Chinese racer Ma Qinghua, who placed second in Race 1 in 2019.

WTCR两度到访宁波期间已有三位车手斩获分站胜利。另有八位车手登上领奖台，其中包括曾在2019年的Race 1中取得亚军的中国顶尖车手马青骅。

There was further cause for home celebration that year when Yvan Muller took a win double for Cyan Racing Lynk & Co.

2019赛季同样见证了伊万·穆勒（Yvan Muller）为Lynk & Co Cyan Racing车队在主场豪取两场胜利。

Xavier Gavory, WTCR Director, Eurosport Events, said: “The prospect of the WTCR returning to the Ningbo International Speedpark is very exciting and means the calendar for the 2021 season is now complete. The track’s design promotes great racing, the facilities are to a high standard and we can count on the strong support of our partner MiTime Group to deliver a first-class event.”

Eurosport Events WTCR总监泽维尔·加沃里（Xavier Gavory）：“WTCR回归宁波国际赛道的前景令人激动，代表着2021赛季WTCR的赛历圆满完成。赛道的设计带来了精彩的赛事，赛道设施也达到了高标准，我们将与合作伙伴铭泰集团共同带来一场顶尖水准赛事。”

Weng Xiaodong, President, MiTime Group, said: “It is a milestone moment that MiTime Group, which has been devoted to motorsports since 2005, could work together with Eurosport Events to make the FIA WTCR event return to China possible. We are very confident to make it the best WTCR event in history. And as Chengdu Tianfu International Speedpark, an FIA grade 2 circuit and a second MiTime track in China, will be put into use in the first half of next year, we are also looking forward to the possibility of meeting the FIA WTCR drivers and teams in Chengdu in the future.”

铭泰集团总裁翁晓东表示：“与Eurosport Events合作将国际汽联WTCR带回中国，是自2005年以来致力于赛车运动领域的铭泰集团的一个里程碑。我们非常有信心将其打造成为WTCR历史上的最佳战役。同时铭泰在中国的第二条赛道——成都天府国际赛道也将在明年上半年投入使用，我们期待在成都与国际汽联WTCR的车队和车手们相会。”

WTCR Race of China is scheduled as rounds 13 and 14 of the 2021 WTCR − FIA World Touring Car Cup in between the races at Inje Speedium in South Korea and Macau. The three events are dependent on restrictions affecting worldwide travel and freight movement being eased. However, if they do get the green light then it will mark the WTCR’s return to a region synonymous with FIA World Touring Car racing.

按照赛程，WTCR中国站成为2021赛季WTCR国际汽联房车世界杯的第13和14回合，在韩国麟蹄和澳门两场赛事之间举办。三场赛事的举办取决于全球旅行和货物运输的限制放宽，如果赛事成功举办，将标志着WTCR完成对国际汽联世界房车赛事的重要区域的一次回归。
