Im watching the live timings for free pratice 2 at the mo and the times are looking very good for the Chevrolet team they are 1-2-3

So i would say any one of these three Menu ,Larini,Huff.

Thompson is well over 2 seconds short of the leaders at the mo :(

race 1 was good. at least you could hear engine sounds this week, unlike in brno where they seemed like they were in the commentary box on the otherside of the world, and the commentators were as ethusiastic as a dead tortoise!!!

well - Cheverlot need to be given some weight back after their domninance of qualifying and race 1, its making a mockery of the WTCC lol.

maybe the big 2 aren't Seat and BMW... but BMW and Cheverlot...

i'm not a chav and i want to own a BMW when i do drive!

so can you change your attitude there, not all BMW drivers are chavs.

anyway - back on subject.

Huff from 7th... standing start... it'll be tough as heck for him to win, even tougher for Thompson

i reckon priaulx will win then from 2nd if he gets a better start than muller. theres no attitude mate its the truth. i drive 600 mile a week and its the bmw drivers on our roads who have the attitude problem the way they drive like ass holes. eveyones got a bmw. be diffrent.
