The 2005 WSRC Season, is coming to down to the wire and after this weekends European GP, only three races remain; Belgium, Japan and Australia, to finish things up. Team BMW Arrows hold a comfortable 39 point advantage over Team Porsche, the only other team with a chance at winning the Constructors title this season. But team Porsche's hopes are dwindling fast and With Team BMW Arrows being the powerhouse team that they have been all season long, it isn't looking any good for Team Porsche at all.
Mean while, Team BMW Arrows driver, Brian Glanville, has his work cut out for him if he is to keep his lead and win the Drivers Title! His 84 points only gives him a 10 point lead over Team Audi Driver, Diogo Vincenzi, who has the most wins this season with five. Second in that standing is third place driver Henrique Rocha, with four wins and who is only two points behind Vincenzi. Lonnie King, fourth and Matt Finlay, fifth, are still within range of the title but it is very unlikely that they could gain the points needed.
Looking on to 2006, things could get even more exciting for the WSRC as two new teams have signed on. Michael Adenekan is driver and owner of Eclipse Motorsports, and had entered in the British GP this year, to no avail, as he stalled his car on the grid! But test performances by Adenekan have shown that he could very well be a contender next season. Team Porsche driver, Matt Finlay, announced that we was leaving Team Porsche to startup Holden Motorsports, next season. Further news told that Finlay had signed Reece Byrne, the ex Team Clownpaint Driver, who had a very good showing at the begining of the 2005 season, until the team bowed out of the championship.
Team Porsche, are closing up shop as Team Audi F1 have bought up the team contingeant and signed Lonnie King as their number two driver. This pairing could prove a formidable matchup against Team BWM Arrows in 2006.
KDR Porsche, were close to signing on Tom Marcinek, wich could have only helped the single driver team, but things fell trough in the end and Iain Dalby, is once again searching for a second driver.
