Could work if you have half a dozen 3 car factory teams, but not in current WTCC.

Tarzaan · 30 Mar 2016, 21:04 (Ref:3628864)

1 - Lopez will defend his title
2 - Volvo will be the runner-up car, and win races
3 - Michelisz will be the best Honda driver, but honda will win only some races
4 - Lada also will win races and will fight with the factory Honda cars
5 - Chilton will win the WTCC trophy/former Yokohama trophy and can match with the non-Citroen factory cars.

helmat · 3 Apr 2016, 18:20 (Ref:3629953)

little late from my side, but nevertheless:

1. Lopez will defend his title but it will be up to the last race and a tough one against Huffy
2. Volvo will enter a 3rd car before the end of the season
3. the Honda will at one point be the heaviest car
4. a new manufacturer will join for the asian rounds (one car only)
5. Nika will be doing a few races and then disappear again (even though I hope I'm wrong)

1) Not right, but I think that next year MAC3 will not be on the schedule.
2) Mmmh... no, but Bjork was fast in France

3) Wrong by just 1 point at the last lap of the championship...
4) Wrong, but without Marrakech...
5) Chilton and Bennani won, so right

Obviously meant the constructors championship, should have noted. Yeah, it was Lopez who was first after Paul Ricard in the drivers championship but Honda was leading the constructors one
