Previous: 1987	Next: 2006

The 2005 World Touring Car Championship season was the second World Touring Car Championship season, and the first since 1987. It featured a ten event, twenty race series which commenced on April 10, 2005 and ended on November 20. The series, which incorporated both a Drivers’ Championship and a Manufacturers’ Championship, was open to Super 2000 cars, Diesel 2000 cars and Super Production cars as defined by the FIA. ^[1]

Organised by KSO, a subsidiary of Eurosport, the championship was a continuation of the previosuly existing European Touring Car Championship, elevated to World Championship status by the FIA with the introduction of races outside Europe. The European title was given to the new European Touring Car Cup, a one-off event.
