WTCC Race 23 & 24 - Macau (MAC), 22nd November 2009

brucelok2003 · 10 Sep 2009, 11:13 (Ref:2537673)

Did anyone have any news about the guest entries?

I just know:

Andre Couto will a BMW (Not sure in ROAL or Schnitzer)
Rodolfo Avila may join the race

Robbe · 10 Sep 2009, 11:22 (Ref:2537682)

I've heard rumours that Masaki Kano will drive for Engstler in Okayama and maybe Macau.

I'd personally like to see Jack Lemvard aswell, but this is just pure speculation.

**FIRE** · 2 Oct 2009, 18:26 (Ref:2552817)

Henry Ho, Lic Ka Liu and Jo Rosa Merszei (all from Macau) will drive BMW's from Engstler in Macau.

I haven't seen it announced anywhere or if it is for both Asian races or just one, but Takayuki Aoki is on the WTCC site's driver list for Weichers-Sport - car number 52 - so unless Wiechers are going to ship 3 cars out, I take it he'll race the car Ara is using at Okayama for Macau

Why does he need a FIA permit? For the car or for himself? Isn't it a S2000 car? Too old?

**FIRE** · 21 Oct 2009, 08:11 (Ref:2566020)

For the car

If it's a proper S2000 I don't see a problem. What's the previous owner of this car?

skells22 · 1 Nov 2009, 20:08 (Ref:2573649)

skells22 · 6 Nov 2009, 13:37 (Ref:2576998)

You were right about the guest driver on the top of the post but not his car, it is a Sunred Seat

skells22 · 6 Nov 2009, 18:52 (Ref:2577205)

can anyone tell me how many cars will be at Macau in two weeks time inculding the guest cars please?

redshoes · 6 Nov 2009, 20:23 (Ref:2577265)

skells22 · 6 Nov 2009, 21:29 (Ref:2577299)

Thankyou, redshoes.
i am going to guess that there might be mayhem at Lisboa then!

Dead-Eye · 6 Nov 2009, 21:35 (Ref:2577304)

There'd be mayhem with five if those included Farfus and Tarquini...

skells22 · 7 Nov 2009, 14:10 (Ref:2577637)

in two weeks time if you are planning to Sky + this three way title decider add extra time just in case of a track blockage (like i rightly did during the Porto round)

kmchow · 12 Nov 2009, 03:28 (Ref:2580554)

Just curious if Watson's Water will return to sponsor the BMW? I believe they had pulled out for a few years now?

chavez · 12 Nov 2009, 10:03 (Ref:2580661)

For all those in Australia the races will be broadcast live on the soon to be launched Eurosport Channel.

It will sure beat a 30 minute highlight package screened weeks after the race.

skells22 · 12 Nov 2009, 16:06 (Ref:2580846)

i wonder if qualfying will be tape delay again or live for us in the UK via Eurosport UK

redshoes · 12 Nov 2009, 18:08 (Ref:2580918)

Sat 21st 23:00-23:45 Eurosport 1/HD - Qualifying
Sat 21st 23:45-00:15 Eurosport 1/HD - Warm-up (Live)
Sun 22nd 12:05-13:30 Eurosport 2 - Race 1
Sun 22nd 15:00-16:00 Eurosport 1/HD - Race 2

skells22 · 12 Nov 2009, 19:41 (Ref:2580975)

I was only worrying about qualfying and that is a bit late for me, GRR!

skells22 · 12 Nov 2009, 20:55 (Ref:2581026)

now onto my 1st ever preview
three are still in the shout of the title Y. Muller(Seat),Farfus (BMW) & leader Tarquini (Seat) with the indis also up for grabs.

skells22 · 13 Nov 2009, 16:11 (Ref:2581443)

if you want to know Redshoes it is on live on Friday on Eurosport UK (i just found that out)

skells22 · 13 Nov 2009, 16:12 (Ref:2581444)

qualfying is 7.45am not 7.00am

Icebaby · 15 Nov 2009, 07:02 (Ref:2582176)

Farfus isn't really in the title fight, too far back on points IMO however he is a lose cannon and judging by the way he punted of Menu in the last round I expect him to do the same or be in the barrier himself, had the rules been inforced he would have been thrown out of the points from the last round.

If James Thompson gets his Lada near Farfus I also expect a little payback from last year when Farfus smashed him off the track, Farfus reminds me of Plato from BTCC, very quick but erratic at times and not the cleanist of drivers.

With the entry being so large it does look like a good race although I am always curious as to why Couto is brought back each year as he never gets results although highly rated on this track.

skells22 · 15 Nov 2009, 08:51 (Ref:2582205)

i am also looking forward to this race. I know sometimes Lisboa gets blocked which = red flag. a litte reminder if you are planning to Sky + it, add extra time just in case!
