WTCC – Valencia!!

WTCC Valencia,

gara 1 e’ ancora lui Yvan Muller e la Chevrolet a imporsi su tutti, faticando decisamente meno rispetto a quando aveva fatto a Monza.

Nonostante una piccola esitazione in partenza, alla prima curva Muller ha sfruttato la traiettoria interna conquistata con la pole di sabato definita da Yvan « la pole ottenuta con un giro perfetto » per mettersi subito in testa al gruppo e farsi rapidamente il vuoto alle sue spalle, staccando giro dopo giro la Seat di Gabriele Tarquini ed involandosi in solitaria verso il successo.

Gara 2, a dare spettacolo tra le 2 BMW davvero veloci e’ la Cruze di Alain Menù, che però a differenza del compagno di squadra Muller in Gara 1, ha dovuto sudarsela fino all’ultimo metro.

Il pilota elvetico, che era in prima fila, era quello che partiva più avanti tra quelli della Chevrolet ed è stato abile a sfruttare questa occasione. Allo spegnimento del semaforo, che ha regalato anche il brivido della Seat di Aleksei Dudukalo ferma sulla griglia, a prendere il comando delle operazioni è stato il poleman Stefano d’Aste, seguito da Franz Engstler, Menù e Tom Coronel.

Nel corso del primo giro Menù ha trovato immediatamente il sorpasso ai danni del tedesco e si è gettato all’inseguimento di un velocissimo d’Aste. Il pilota italiano ha poi avuto il merito di tenere botta agli attacchi del veterano fino al settimo giro, ma alla lunga si è dovuto inchinare di fronte al potenziale della Cruze.

Due giri più tardi però è arrivato un altro colpo di scena, una vettura ha perso dell’olio in pista e su questa sono scivolati i primi tre, favorendo la rimonta di Coronel, che si è ritrovato quindi nella condizione di tornare a battagliare per la vittoria. E proprio all’ultimo passaggio, favorito anche dal miglior consumo delle gomme della BMW è arrivato anche a sferrare l’attacco ai danni di Menù.

Lo svizzero gli ha resistito con tutte le sue forze, e alla fine è andato a conquistare la vittoria davanti all’olandese.

Terzo gradino del podio TRICOLORE con un abilissimo e velocissimo Sig.pilota Stefano D’Aste d’Aste, che ha saputo difendere sino all’ultimo giro il terzo posto assoluto e la vittoria tra gli Indipendenti dall’attacco di Norbert Michelisz e di Engstler, festeggiando alla grande in completo « doppio petto » omologato FA 8856-2000!!!

WTCC…grand final!!

The weekend Monza is painted Chevrolet blue!

After the sweet double win in the race 1, where the current world champion preceded his teammate Robert Huff, distancing himself with less than half a second, followed by his eternal rival Gabriele Tarquini in a Seat Leon WTCC of the Lukoil Racing Team.

In race 2 the Cruze 1.6 turbos showed they could do even better by monopolizing the entire podium after an incredible battle that was fought on every lap, but led by the current champion Muller, followed by Menu and Huff.

A spectacular second round, at the first change the three Chevies showed how aggressive they could be, followed by Tarquini’s Seat, a delay in Huff’s braking set off a series hair-raising spins and bangs where it was precisely Tarquini to pay the price, since he could do absolutely nothing to avoid Huff and therefore damaged his Leon, ending up having to pull out of the race.

In race 2 the final fifth place should be pointed out as belonging to Stefano d’Aste on a BMW320 TC, who thus moved into the ranking reserved for Independents, pulling through at the end of a battle with Franz Engstler and Alex MacDowell who fired up the last two laps, really a great race for our pilot of the Wiechers-Sport!!

We can really say that it was a great start to the season for us and for our drivers!!!

OMP and Yvan Muller WORLD CHAMPION once again!!!

An excellent double win of Robert Huff in Macao wasn’t sufficient to get his dream come true – his team mate Yvan Muller become WTCC World Champion for third time.

The two Chevrolet drivers arrived on the asian city circuit with a gap of 20 points; therefor the british driver needed quite a miracle to stop the alsacian driver on his way to become for the 3rd time world champion.

And he was quite able to make it, but he had to surrender for only 3 points.

Race 1 maintaned Robert Huff’s dream, good start from the pole position and a good handling of the race by defending his position from the attacks of Muller.

Race 2 was also leaded by Robert Huff, but a smart Yvan Muller was able to reach the 3rd place by overtaking Mehdi Bennani and Nykjaer and so win his 3rd championship!!!

A great championship, struggled in every race and gave everyone the right suspence!!!

Congratulations to all the CHEVROLET Team and also to US!!!!!!!

Race 1 is all for Alain Menù, the suisse driver of Chevrolet was able to get the best from his pole position, not being involved in all the accidents of the starting and stayed ahead at the first turn until the end of the race.

The 2 most dangerous drivers for his leadership, Yvan Muller and Robert Dahlgren, remained in the back positions since from the starting grid, the Volvo driver crashed against the wall and the championship leader went off the track a couple of rounds later and lost so some time.

At that point Menù had only to manage the advantage he built up on Robert Huff, who arrived second and become now nearer to Muller in the championship also because of the difficulties given him by Michel Nykjaer on Seat.

Race 2 is for Tom Coronel on BMW; the Chevrolet Cruzes tried in every way to scary him, but they followed him until the end of the race (Yvan Muller, Robert Huff and Alain Menù).

Particularly the championship leader stayed very close to the 320 of Coronel without being able to overtake him.

Same for Huff against his team-mate, who is now leading with 13 points more in the championship; Menù struggled against the Volvo C30 of Robert Dahlgren and had to battle for arrving in 4th position.

Next race on the weekend of the 4th and 6th of november in Shanghai for the penultimate race of the championship, where our leading drivers will battle the best they can!!!
