By

After the Safety Car fiasco in France, where the Safety Car driver crashed in to the leader Franz Engstler, the World Touring Car Championship organization has appointed a permanent driver for the Safety Car. 32 year old Portuguese Bruno Correia is going to drive the Safety Car for the remainder of the season.

Correia has driven a lot of different racing classes before, such as Portuguese Formula Ford and Spanish Formula Renault.

Correia tested for the WTCC organization at Brno where he successfully performed a number of interventions.
