WTCC races on with Latin American rights partner

Pay-television broadcaster Fox Sports Latin America has renewed an agreement for rights to the World Touring Car Championship motor-racing series.

Under the agreement, Fox Sports will provide live coverage of all races during the 2017 WTCC season, which begins with an event in Marrakech, Morocco on April 7-9.

Fox Sports will also air live coverage of qualifying sessions and the Manufacturers Against the Clock (WTCC MAC3) team time trial.

In addition, subscribers will receive access to the WTCC All Access magazine programme, a season review show and exclusive interviews with WTCC drivers from the broadcaster’s home markets.

Argentina will host the sole Latin American event on the 2017 WTCC calendar from August 4-6. The event will take place at the Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo circuit.
