Robbe · 24 Jun 2011, 11:10 (Ref:2905193)

Next WTCC event will be at Porto, both races will be held July 3rd.

SpeedKing has posted a video that shows the revised layout of the track at Touringcartimes:

The entry list is not out yet, however Stefano D'Aste will return to Wiechers and replace Sonderegger. Great news! There was a rumour about Ander Vilarino in another SEAT but I haven't heard something new in a while.

Weight has been changed again, the Chevys an the Volvo are now on +40 kg, the BMWs on +30kg, the Sunred cars on -20kg (including the Diesel).

I notice there is a big gap betwwen race 1 and race 2 meaning a lot of time to fix wrecked cars next weekend.

I Rosputnik · 24 Jun 2011, 14:42 (Ref:2905293)

What happened to Sonderegger and will Marchy Lee return?

The big gap is so Eurosport can show live coverage of Tour de France.

Repair time is still limited to the same 15 mins as every other meeting, unless you take the car out of parc ferme and start from the back of the grid.

I'm expecting another Chevy walkover.

I'm expecting a Seat walkover, they're way too light now...

skells22 · 1 Jul 2011, 21:35 (Ref:2909625)

Huff fastest on Friday testing,

Menu fastest in Saturday Free Practice 1.

Chevy walkover still on the cards, I don't think that's ever not going to be the case for a while, but the SUNRED Leons are certainly closer.

skells22 · 2 Jul 2011, 13:11 (Ref:2913904)

Huff was fasest in today 2nd Practise today that was slight delay by a small issue at the last chicane.

skells22 · 3 Jul 2011, 16:17 (Ref:2917510)

I wonder if Huff might get a pen (he did get hit by Muller then jumped the chicane to overtake)?

tux · 3 Jul 2011, 16:25 (Ref:2917512)

Any point even holding the races anymore?

I think Huff should get a penalty. To make the chicane he drove into Muller who had nowhere to go - and the Huff got the position through the chicane. That's not a proper overtaking if you can only do it that way, so a penalty is the only fair dessecion. But let's see what happens...

**FIRE** · 3 Jul 2011, 19:03 (Ref:2917567)

I liked race 2

Sodemo · 3 Jul 2011, 20:23 (Ref:2917604)

Race 1 was awful. Race 2 was marginally better, only really because there was a slow BMW in front of the Chevy's.

skells22 · 3 Jul 2011, 20:53 (Ref:2917620)

I found the page for pens and there is no Huff in that list. Bennani has 30 secs on both races, 1st one is track limits and that last lap bash at the back of Aste car, Poulsen gets 30 secs for track limits and Villa also get 30 secs for bashing Barth at lap 1 in race 1 (in total 4 pens)

artur177 · 3 Jul 2011, 21:17 (Ref:2917627)

Villa also got a 5 grid penalty for the next race.

iceman-1987 · 4 Jul 2011, 07:33 (Ref:2917746)

huff is really an UNFAIR driver!!!! he always make these kind of things when he drives!

im sorry for muller and im disappointed that Yvan didnt push him off when they had contact in monza because huff really deserve this!
