June usually brings lots of rains and the lowest temperature in summer here. But this year it's even colder than in autumn.
As for week-end, there's a Moscow Classic GP with lots of old touring cars from Lada, Moskvitch and my all time favorite Volga. Organizers expect to have some guests from Baltics with their famous Dzintara Volga and even from Germany - in some of the formulae classes. It's pity that the weather is not comfortable to attract people. |

Besides, I've made a Vesta in CAD (it took almost a year though) and have some fan-level CFD at my free time at work. It appears to be, that even at 130 km/h underbody and wing generate sufficient amount of grip (it goes from, let's say, 500 N of lift to 500 N of grip after using full race aero kit). And that splitter really compensate Mx (rotational moment along OX axe). At least "my" Vesta has almost 50/50 aero balance between the axes. Of course, it's just an amateur time wasting. Real data could be different.

Fantastic job by Lada. Catsburg is fantastic driver. Also Thompson deserve full season drive either in WTCC, BTCC or TCR

You can't help but think things are a little fishy when the home team does that well...

Lada was sanctioned at the MAC3(jump start Catsburg and Tarquini).

Very happy for Catsburg. Should have started on pole in Slovakia already, so great that he managed to get a pole here.

 In the Russian championship constantly there are scandals to the factory Lada Sport Rosneft team. Their cars almost always don't conform to technical requirements and an homologation. But RAF (the Russian Automobile Federation) always tries to hush up any scandal and rejects any protests of rivals. Almost all speak about the high level of corruption, but nobody can make anything. |

Agree. Clean sweep by Lada, Thompson getting two Trophy wins and Ficza overtaking both Muller and Bennani and setting fastest lap

It's now obvious how to win in WTCC. Just threaten to leave.
Citroen begins to pull out and then Honda gets banhammered on a part no one can see to secure Lopez-Citroen the title (because no one remembers when they tried that on the Renault mass damper in F1 for Schumi-Ferrari), then Lada makes an statement of uncertainty and dominates the next race. I'd rather not be the conspiracy theorist, but it's getting a little suspicious at this point. |
