Who's going to win the WTCC?

Hazard · 11 Oct 2005, 23:11 (Ref:1431289)

3 guys in the running only, 5 points seperates the lot...one race to go being Macau, traditionally a BMW circuit, but hey, Valencia was traditionally an Alfa circuit once too!

Who do you reckon?

Dani Filth · 11 Oct 2005, 23:25 (Ref:1431303)

is it really necessary for me to say it ???

yes . you all are right . Giovanardi will .. but if under extreme circumstances it has to be a BMW .. i would like to be Priaulx again

Hazard · 11 Oct 2005, 23:44 (Ref:1431322)

Yeah, I knew you'd turn up.

I guess Giovanardi's got a chance, IF HE SWITCHS TO BMW

Dani Filth · 11 Oct 2005, 23:50 (Ref:1431328)

well .. he did that already .. it didn't worked out for him

E46 · 12 Oct 2005, 09:02 (Ref:1431602)

I would say D.Müller, however Priaulx will have a good help at Macau with Huisman. Both recently have experience at Macau, however Giovanardi hasn´t been 17 years ago.

**FIRE** · 12 Oct 2005, 11:25 (Ref:1431705)

I hope Dirk Muller

j_t_8_8_8 · 12 Oct 2005, 13:36 (Ref:1431818)

Giovanardi...because Dirk and Priaulx will be faster, but they will fight too much, and Macau's track has got many barriers at the side

429CJ · 12 Oct 2005, 17:16 (Ref:1432020)

Anybody but Giovanardi (or Larini or Farfus).

Knowlesy · 12 Oct 2005, 17:32 (Ref:1432043)

I'd like to see Priaulx win it. He's such a nice guy and intelligent racer.

However, my gut feeling is that Dirk will see it out in the end, for whatever reason.

Didn't Dirk win the non-championship events at Macau at the back end of last year?

No, Jörg won.

luke · 12 Oct 2005, 17:43 (Ref:1432057)

I am fully behind Priaulx, but I think Dirk deserves it more than anyone as he has been close so many times. The title race always seem to be very close in this series each year which makes for great battles, it would be unfair to say who is the better.

Knowlesy · 12 Oct 2005, 18:28 (Ref:1432085)

Oh quit sitting on the fence luke!

Knowlesy · 12 Oct 2005, 18:46 (Ref:1432100)

Really?

Oh well, that throws a different complexion on it.

Was Dirk third then?

Dirk had an accident, but it was his first year at Macau. For Priaulx was the second one. It will be interesting to watch.

Knowlesy · 12 Oct 2005, 19:11 (Ref:1432113)

Hmmm.....well I've made myself look positively stupid here.

I'll have to watch last years race and get some revision in! hehehe....

All I really remember was the race being pretty close, but impossible to overtake.

**touringlegend** · 12 Oct 2005, 19:27 (Ref:1432122)

Don't want to jinx him so won't say what I think, except I hope it is Andy Priaulx at the end of the day.

Joe Taylor · 14 Oct 2005, 16:19 (Ref:1433744)

I voted for Priaulx. No national bias of course

pink69 · 22 Oct 2005, 08:22 (Ref:1440382)

My Money's on Priaulx to win it again. He's got the momentum after beating Dirk in race 2 at Valencia. Givonardi's an outsider as I see it, it'll depend on BMW Mistakes for him to win it again.

But Dirk Muller has 2 bodyguards (Jorg Muller and Duncan Huisman).

I thought the Team Holland car was being run by RBM? Ergo, same team as Priaulx.

Surely that's one bodyguard each?

(Not quite as good as Giovanardi's, he got a J-Lo style entourage)

pink69 · 22 Oct 2005, 19:46 (Ref:1440811)

True, Jorg wll more than likely help Dirk but I don't know about Huisman. He's not a Schnitzer driver, he'll help either to fend off Givonardi I reckon. He won't hold up either Andy or Dirk should they stroll u behind him....if hes even ahead of them.....

robert77 · 12 Oct 2005, 21:33 (Ref:1432216)

Just has to be Andy P.
1. Cos he's a Brit
2. Cos he's a Brit
3. Cos he's a Brit

And after his performance in the penultimate round, with struggling for top speed due to an incorrect choice of diff I think he deserves it.

Hazard · 12 Oct 2005, 22:42 (Ref:1432249)

Interesting that (at this time) the guy who's actually leading the championship is last!

Though Alfa Fan, alfa57, alfan,& Dani Filth are among the Giovanardi voters...hmmm, a non-biased decision there hey fellas

Dani Filth · 13 Oct 2005, 07:20 (Ref:1432393)

biased towards what ??

alfan · 13 Oct 2005, 08:23 (Ref:1432430)

Yeah Hazard, what do you mean ? I've voted for Gio because..errrr...I like his haircut
