Should be a good weekend in terms of good racing which is typical for Monza/

Honda on top, but I feel Volvo and maybe Huff are sandbagging.

Very frustrating to see Björk trying to make passes at all the wrong places, instead of setting up to have a go at the end of the main straight.

The Volvo looked slow down the straight, though. The Chevrolets were just going past and out braking them into turn 1.

Well done to Sonic, seems he's not harmed by doing a duel programme, he's doing well in both

Very good racing today. 4 different winners in 4 races. Such a shame the championship has so many problems, especially with entries, could have been better.

The more I see, the more I believe that quality of racing depends on the circuit

I was in monza and it was wonderful after 4 years to be back! Both Race really hard with an equal level of competitivity.
Just a shame that there are so few cars considering that there could be used still one more Citroen one more lada and i think 6 more Chevrolet

Bennani, what a j**k you are!

The penalty for avoiding a stalled car was absolutely absurd.

but he wasnt avoiding a stalled car at all. that was just an excuse. watch the video. he just made a better start than the cars directly in front of him. he could have gone left and down the middle which was clear for him but he went right and 'off the track' over the line marking the edge of the racing surface and which is not allowed.

I have no doubt about that.

Anyone else noticed that in TV results Lada Vesta's are called something like RC M and they have logo of RC Motorsport instead of Lada logo?

Like back in the days when the S2000 SEAT Leons run by Sunred had the Sunred logos instead of SEAT? Before SEAT launched their own 1.6T engine.

In the hungarian broadcast the commentator said they don't have the rights to use the Lada name.
