WHAT IF...

* either Augusto Farfus or Peter Terting wins the title:

- he would be the youngest FIA World Champion ever: on the race day Farfus will be 23-years, 2-months and 16-days old, Terting 22-years and 10-months; the current record is held by Fernando Alonso who claimed the 2005 Formula One crown being 24-years, 1-month and 27-days old.

* Augusto Farfus wins the title:

- he would be the first Brazilian World Champion in motor sport after Ayrton Senna in 1991.

- he would give Alfa Romeo their first World title since the 1977 World Sportscar Championship.

* Andy Priaulx wins the title:

- he would equal Roberto Ravaglia (1986 and 1988 ETCC, 1987 WTCC), being FIA Touring Car champion for three years in a row.

* Jörg Müller wins the title:

- he would be the second driver ever to be FIA champion for single-seaters (1996 in F3000) and touring cars after Jacky Ickx who claimed European titles in Touring Cars (1965) and F2 (1967).

* any of Jörg Müller, Dirk Müller and Peter Terting wins the title:

- he would be the first German to win an FIA Touring Car title, ten years after Manuel Reuter in the 1996 International Touring Car Championship.

* Gabriele Tarquini wins the title:

- he would be the first Italian FIA World Champion since Teo Fabi won the 1991 World Sportscar Championship.

* Rickard Rydell wins the title:

- he would be the first Swede to become FIA World Champion in car racing.

* James Thompson wins the title:

- this would reassert the superioriy of the British touring car school, following Priaulx's two titles and the recent success of Ryan Sharp in the FIA European Touring Car Cup.

* Yvan Muller wins the title:

- he would be the second French World Champion of the season together with WRC winner Sébastien Loeb.

* any SEAT driver wins the title:

- this would be the first international motor sport championship won by a Spanish car manufacturer.
