A HONDA ACCORD FOR THOMPSON

same as my prediction

FIA WTCC

as what i have said after the last race this year. alfa romeo's car is a bit too old to keep competitive in the top race. so now the team running it, n.techology finally gives up and they are going to find another partner to play the game in coming future. but if they wanna fight with manufacturer teams, they cannot choose those putting official teams in the race, i.e. bmw, seat (or audi group), chevrolet (or gm group), or no mercedes (the focus on dtm). So most likely they can find japanese or korean cars. And most active one should be honda, there are some cars running in wtcc under independent teams for past few years (not the one just completed). and they have individual design for europe market (major battle field for the race). anyway, as a fan, what we can do is just enjoying holidays and wait for more news.

wtcc macao round 2

it's so lucky for andy priaulx with some tactics. based on wtcc's regulations, 8th in first round starts at first for second round, so priaulx became first. his major competitor, yvan muller was down in first round. so he just needed to run safely and he could become the champion.

after start, second was james thompson and third was nicola larini. but maybe alfa romeo is not supporting officially, the car is a bit slower and larini crossed him later on. thompson was strong enough to stand third from seat's tiago monteiro.

bmw is lucky and with good tactics. seat is much stronger with diesel engine. chevrolet also has potential with good drivers and good cars (even faster than seat on hills). but will n.technology's alfa romeo continue to play in wtcc while others improve a lot?

championship:

1. andy priaulx
2. yvan muller
3. james thomspon
