21 drivers entered, Nikita Misiulia is the other addition (that's his prize for winning the Lada Granta cup). Don't really expect much overtaking because of the nature of the track. Honda should be faster than private Chevys I guess. Anyway, looking forward

Fulin out again at Campos? I thought he was a full-season runner?

Ah, misunderstood that one then. Thanks!

Great Q3 shootout, once again showed that Citroen are beatable. Anyway, stunning lap from Lopez, really fast. But if Honda outstarts everyone again../well, it could be a great fight for the win, hope Tarquini-Monteiro give him some tough time again

WHAT a race 2! Definitely best racing this season. Has someone said it's very hard to pass under TC1 regulations? Though disappointed with the results, gutted for Valente, could have a great story with him winning the race. Race 1 was good too (surprisingly, as didn't expect much overtaking here)

BTW, has anyone else noted how lucky the Citroen team is with problems just following their competitors? Monteiro at Paul Ricard (OK, they might have caught him but could have been a fight for the lead), Morbidelli at Salzburgring, Valente here just to note a few... I wonder when will they run out of luck, to be honest, tired of their winning too.

There is no such thing as luck - neither good or bad. Citroën is winning because they have the best team, the best car, the best driver line-up and the best strategy. Simple as that.

Honda on the other hand look absolutely like a bunch of amateurs. They are even getting their ass kicked by the private RML Chevy's.

You know, it's just ridiculous to see Bennani, Monteiro and Tarquini knocking each other out while Muller picking his way through all 4 Civics. What a poor team management for that. In that case, I fully endorse some sort of team order from JAS. Also TC1 cars are just way too fragile for anyone to even think about overtaking in the old-school-elbowing-your-way-through method.

doesn't Bennani race for different team ?

Metzo · 8 Jun 2014, 20:17 (Ref:3417080)

Probably so....I just can't remember clearly. Anyway, I mean the three green-white-red livery civics. You know.

Who is the fella who won race 2?

Saw the second race this morning. Great racing throughout with loads of changes. Shame the TV director was a good as the one in Canada. He missed the pass for the lead by switching to a slowing Tarquini
