Tarquini will use a Tdi car at Monza, it´s confirmed. And SEAT will have a new official car in Italy with Óscar Nogués at wheel.

Gené has to fancy himself for a victory.
Could Priaulx wrap up the title here before Macau I wonder? |

I have a feeling that with Thommo's Alfa being as slippery as a slippery thing, he might just repeat Valencia's double-winning weekend... of course, as stated, the TDis do seem swift... |

4 races left, max 10 points per race. Mathematically anyone down to Huff could still win the championship, even if that's very unlikely.
Priaulx would need to be 21 points ahead by the time he leaves Monza. He's needs to outscore Farfus by 9 points, Yvan by 7, Jorg by 6 and lose no more than 4 points to Thompson, 6 to Menu, 10 to Tarquini, 13 to Larini and 16 to Huff. In theory it's possible, but with ballast and reverse grids I wouldn't like to predict how likely. My gut instinct says it's a big ask. |

Priaulx can easily wrap up the title, but considering the clambering mass behind in 2nd etc. anyone can easily make a good gain.
In fact, if Priaulx has another 0 point weekend and Thommo for example picks up a double win (happened once already, and it is Monza and he's in an Alfa! -so not impossible), he suddenly jumps back in contention just 4 points behind. Obviously the simple stat is Priaulx needs to leave with a 21 point lead over whoever is 2nd to be assured of the title. He is the only driver who can leave Monza with the title in hand, but it's very unlikely - hopefully we're heading to the wire. |

Priaulx won a race at Monza last year if I recall?
In fact, im surprised that the rear drive cars are competitive there at all given the circuit characteristics. |

previous Monza winners: 2003 ETCC: Thompson (Alfa), J Muller (BMW) 2004 ETCC: Tarquini (Alfa), J Muller (BMW) 2005 WTCC: D Muller (BMW), Thompson (Alfa) 2006 WTCC: Priaulx (BMW), Farfus (Alfa) looks like the SEAT and Chevrolet drivers need to buck their ideas up... will TDi power make the difference or will Alfa again claim pole, with a BMW picking up race 2 from 6th/7th/8th after Race 1?? All the pointers are there... although History is Bunk, according to Henry Ford |

I thought the ITCC was only about 4 S2000 cars now?

Well, it's not all that bad Last race at Adria there were 11 cars:
Cesare Cremonesi in a BMW 320 E46 Manuel Flaminio in a Alfa Romeo 147 Cup Massimo Arduini in a Honda Civic Type R Luigi Palazzo in a BMW 320 E46 Giorgio Fantilli in a Alfa Romeo 156 Fabio Fabiani in a BMW 320 E46 Francesco Bandini in a BMW 320 E46 Giulio Valentini in a Alfa Romeo 147 GTA Alessandro Revello in a BMW 320 E46 Carlo Mursia in a Alfa Romeo 147 JTD Roberto Conte in a BMW 320 E46 (brother of Paolo Conte? ) But you were right, they're racing on the 7th too |

Those Alfa 147's aren't S2000, so Super Producuzione won't be allowed to race. |

ITCC will be in a separate race on Saturday - 14 cars, only 3 of which are S2000 spec. Even if they were in the main WTCC event the quickest car in qualifying was 5 seconds off Thompson's free practice time, so they wouldn't be make much difference to the result.

Looking bad for BMW.
Thommo, Chevy and Muller's TDI has the opportunity to do some catching. |

Leon Tdi cars are so fast in straight. SEAT did a smart move with diesel solution.
