Previous: 2008	Next: 2010

The 2009 World Touring Car Championship season was the sixth FIA World Touring Car Championship season, the fifth since its 2005 return. It began on March 8, and ended on November 22, after twenty-four races. The championship, which was reserved for Super 2000 Cars and Diesel 2000 Cars, comprised two titles, the FIA World Touring Car Champion for Drivers and the FIA World Touring Car Champion for Manufacturers.^[1]

Italian Gabriele Tarquini won the Drivers' Championship by four points from SEAT Sport team-mate Yvan Muller, with BMW Team Germany's Augusto Farfus finishing third ten points behind Muller. The Manufacturers Championship was retained by SEAT beating BMW by just three points. Tom Coronel took the Independents' Trophy for SUNRED Engineering, who won the Teams' Trophy.

Calendar[]

The first provisional calendar was released in October 2008.^[35]

Marrakech hosted a round on a new temporary street circuit in the heart of the city on May 3.^[36] and Porto returned to the championship.

On November 5, 2008, FIA released a new provisional calendar, and announced the date of the Race of Germany in Oschersleben moved from August 30 to September 6 (due to clash with the date of the Belgian Formula One Grand Prix^[35]), and the date of the Race of Japan in Okayama moved from October 25 to November 1. The Race of Italy was originally scheduled to be run in Monza but it was changed to Imola, and the date of the event in Italy was also changed (from October 4 to September 20).^[37]

The Yokohama Independents' Trophy uses a similar system to the Drivers’ Championship, however awards bonus points for fastest laps and race one pole positions (unlike the main series). It also awards three bonus points per position, if an independent driver finishes within the overall top eight, e.g. if a driver was to finish sixth overall, he would receive nine bonus points. Double points are awarded at Macau

All the teams taking part in any of the rounds of the 2009 FIA World Touring Car Championship were eligible to score points for the Yokohama Teams' Trophy. Points were awarded to the two best classified cars of each team, providing they were driven by Independent drivers. All other cars of that same team were considered invisible as far as scoring points was concerned.
