Oh yes, Toyota has been "talking about" all sorts of championships since Gp.C died - I'll believe it when I see the first Toyota on the grid. As for Mazda, we already have Ford in the series, that's the same group.
Was this really the first win for BMW Italy-Spain??

Weird - maybe the Eurosport guys were overcome with emotion there... - I believe they said it was the first win ever. Ah but who cares, viva Alex!

Agree, first see, then believe. Sometimes dreaming is nice. 
You are saying Ford is in the series, but before this weekend their participation was a joke. This weekend on their home circuit they did very well. But I am afraid they are at the back of the grid again next race.

Don't know.
During the DTM race at German TV Klaus Ludwig was very negative about WTCC and Chevrolet.
At the DTM race at Nurburgring a journalist asked Norbert Haug if they are interested in the WTCC. Haug said: "We are only doing autosport with real race cars". 
Today WTCC was for the first time live broadcasted on German TV channel ZDF. After the 1st race the commentator said there were 3 German drivers in top 5, something not every championship could say. It was clear he meant DTM.
I got the feeling this was the start of a DTM/German channel ARD vs WTCC/German channel ZDF war.

Mercedes-Benz has been out of racing for several years, ever since Haug became motor"sports" chief to be exact. I would llike to see Merc lose a few races in WTCC (and a Norbert vs. Monica spitting match on pitlane!  ) but that's another story...

Good. The German public should get used to the thought of life after DTM.

I got the impression there were a lott of people in Oschersleben. It surprised me I thought in Germany there was only Schumacher, F1, DTM and 24h of The Ring.

Yes, it´s the first win for Ravaglia motorsport in ETCC/WTCC with S2000 specs. They won races in ETCC 2001 with Peter Kox and Super production cars anyway.
