Touring cars
edit
Porteiro made his touring car debut near the end of 2006, driving a BMW 320si for ROAL Motorsport at the European Touring Car Cup, finishing fifth. He impressed the team enough to earn a full-time drive in their World Touring Car Championship team, BMW Team Italy-Spain, in 2007. He scored his first ever win at Brno, and finished twelfth in the final standings. In 2008, he got his second win at Oschersleben, ending the year tenth overall.
For 2009 he was replaced by fellow Spaniard Sergio Hernández. Porteiro switched teams with him, moving to the independent Proteam Motorsport.[1] He finished second in the Independent's Trophy.
Porteiro was left without a drive for the 2010 season, as Hernández returned to Proteam after ROAL's departure from the WTCC.
