WTCC driver jobs?
Just a thought ..Seeing as its one month since the last WTCC race , do the Drivers have everyday jobs like the BTCC drivers or are they full time pro drivers like , say , F1 drivers ??

Stefano D'Aste organizes the Italian Lotus Cup and owns a Lotus dealership, Franz Engstler owns an Alfa-Romeo dealership and obviously runs his own team, Tiago Monteiro runs the Ocean-GP2 team, Kristian Poulsen I think is the owner of a transport company.

I cannot think of one BTCC driver who does not have a job outside driving duties, possibly Giovarnardi.

Colin Turkington? Matt Neal has the family business, doesn't he. Stephen Jelley presumably works for the Jelson, the family house building lot. Supposedly they own/saved the Leicester Riders basketball team ...

Rob Collard works in the building trade i think.
I imagine the top 12 or so WTCC drivers don't have day jobs. People like Priaulx, Tarquini, Y Muller, Larini etc i would imagine are financially nicely off |

Actually, Fabrizio is co-owner of an electronics shop in Modena, as far as I remember.
