In less than two weeks the competitors will hit the track for the last two races of the WTCC season.

For the fifth consecutive year the final and deciding act will be staged on Macau's infamous 6.1-km Guia street circuit. On Sunday 22nd November two nine-lap races will decide the 2009 champion.

Three men are still in contention for the drivers' crown: Gabriele Tarquini, Yvan Muller and Augusto Farfus. Seat Sport's Tarquini leads the classification with a two-point margin ahead of his team-mate Muller, the reigning champion. As for Farfus of BMW Team Germany, he lies third, 13 points behind Tarquini.

The manufacturers' championship is also at stake with Seat - the 2008 winner - leading BMW by three points only.

In the previous five appearances of Super 2000 cars at Macau, including the 2004 Guia Race, BMW has won six races out of ten against Chevrolet's three victories (including Huff's and Menu's in 2008) and Alfa Romeo's one. Seat still has to break its duck on the Guia circuit.

Jorg Muller, the only man to have won both the Macau Formula 3 Grand Prix and the Guia Race, claimed three of BMW's six victories.
