But that would have upset the fact that the FIA have been helping out SEAT to the title(s) for the whole year!

Agreed, it's a mistake anyone could have made, in fact Priaulx did exactly the same a few seconds earlier. The only difference was that there were no other cars nearby and Priaulx did no more than put himself in the gravel.

I have an opponion about that rather troublesome project, and you have to respect that. Instead loosing your good manners.

We cant always agree, and please dont call it whining. That is disrespectful.

What's to gain from racing with non-compliant hubs?

Looking forward to seeing the results of that investigation.

And thats the end of the discussion of not liking Lada, liking Lada, not liking liking Ladas, and so on

Keep to topic, everone is entitled to have their own opinion, this is not the place to nag about it - you've got personal messages for that

Remember Rydel is second to none in wet slippery conditions of the current WTCC drivers, and he has shown that before as well.

interesting with Tom Coronel winning Race 2 in a petrol Seat.
He did what is commonly done is STCC (due to pitstops and minimum 2 tires changed), run with 2 slicks and 2 wets. That often turns out to be a winning combination in intermediate weather conditions.

Ok... so BMW winning 4 years in a row is ok, but when they dont do it the 5th it becomes boring? Do I sense a slight bias towards 1 specific brand in there?

Luckily the races were pretty entertaining, that should help. I hope a Japanese championship will really be succesfull. The WTCC and other European championships will get more variety if some japanese manufacturers develop good cars.

DoH! Too early in the morning. Thanks for the correction The Japanese getting back into TC would be great. That would mean an instant boost in brands on the grid for WTCC.

Yeah, looked it up in the dictionary - a Danish website translated hub into what is a wheel nut... hence my question.

And yes, interesting with some more Japanese brands in S2000.
