I have been wondering what's happened to them. I thought their original plan was to do all of the Asian rounds?

I had to improvise but it's done. Betting on an easy Citroen win.

Some usual business during qualifying. Surprisingly good pace from Ma however
AGAIN Michelisz faster than both factory Hondas. Doesn't Honda really want to take a closer look at their current line-up? |

Well, that was some odd recovering. First let a car stand at 3m from the racingline for several laps, and then when everybody is used to that, get the tractor out to pull it from the graveltrap. Offcourse with drivers on the track lifting as little as they can get away with...

Hugely surprised by Bennani's victory,especially after Citroen's parade in Race 1. Race 2 was awesome, special thanks to Hugo Valente and his defensive driving
Congrats to Bennani and Proteam - finally a victory for the team who have been in the championship since the first race in 2005. Out of the 4 Honda drivers his victory is definitely the most surprising. But he deserved it really |

I have to notice that penalty for Loeb is a joke

Why do you think it is a joke? I haven't seen any footage other then the outside camerashot from the camera the drivers drive to on the long straight, and that was inconclusive to me.

About Bennani; am I alone in questioning his fitness? He seemed completely knackered ater a race that could not have been very hard: a track with a few long straights to rest, no hard fights with other drivers, no exeptional temperatures or other wheatercircumstances, and only 60km. Would that be just his emotions or does he have to hit the gym and/or his bike a bit more?

Check this onboard footage. The contact was easily avoidable and Loeb was simply too optimistic. Fair penalty |

Managed to watch race 1 this morning. Soulless track, dire racing. Half an hour of my life I will never get back!
I still have race 2 to look forward to though... |

It's always nice to see someone win their first race and it's always nice to see Muller retire, so yes, race 2 was definitely better than race 1!

For the sake of the championship is was better if Lopez was hit instead of Muller.... Anyway, what is so bad about Muller that you enjoy him retiring

Whilst he is a very good driver, I find nothing about Yvan likeable. He happens to be one of my least favourite drivers of all-time.
