Impressive BMW driving quintet competes for points.

There are now less than two weeks until the 2007 season of the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) kicks off with two races in Curitiba, Brazil. When the "Autódromo Internacional" becomes the venue for World Championship point chasers for the first time this year on 11th March, it will also mark the start of the next chase to catch BMW and Andy Priaulx (GBR). Just like last year, the BMW Team UK driver starts the season as defending champion, and BMW is hoping to making it three wins in a row in the Manufacturers' Championship.

Priaulx will once again be wearing the colours of BMW Team UK as well as the RBM team, and has again been given the car number 1. Thanks to his incredible winning run, which has seen him claim the European Championship title 2004 as well as championship honours in the WTCC 2005 and 2006, Priaulx has already secured his place in the history books. The 32-year-old still has plenty of ambition, however. Come the end of the 2007 season, he wants once again to be ahead of the field in his BMW 320si WTCC in the Drivers' Championship.
