There we go!

**FIRE** · 28 Oct 2007, 11:34 (Ref:2053171)

Great grid

E46 · 28 Oct 2007, 11:35 (Ref:2053173)

Great start for both SEATs.

Bramzel · 28 Oct 2007, 11:39 (Ref:2053179)

Quite some dirty driving there, Engstrom pushing Ceresoli wide was very unnecessary and Lundgaards action on Campanico was just retarded.

I must say that the director is doing an awesome job at missing a lot of action, everytime you see the start of an overtaking or touché the camera is pointed somewhere else again. Pretty annoying.

Interesting battle at the front though, seriously close. Now if only those S1600s would bugger off...

E46 · 28 Oct 2007, 11:53 (Ref:2053186)

We are watching close racing, and a lot contacts.

Ceresoli was too optimistic there.

Bramzel · 28 Oct 2007, 11:56 (Ref:2053188)

I don't mind contact when its in a fight, like Poulsen vs. Geipel. When it is stupid behaviour like Lundgaard on Campanico then it just ****es me off.

Bramzel · 28 Oct 2007, 12:02 (Ref:2053197)

Nice race, well driven by Engstrom. Great fight between Mörth and Nykjaer at the end, it seems to me this track suits the S2000 cars pretty well.

Yeah of course. I agree.

No driving mistakes for Engström, a perfect race for him. Overtaking slow cars was a challenge.

Hazard · 28 Oct 2007, 12:16 (Ref:2053203)

Ceresoli just saw red and missed his braking point entirely - shame, he was doing well up till then.

Good fight between Morth and Nykjaer the whole way though, made it easy for Engstrom. To win the cup though he'll need to do some work in race two.

I think Morth and Nykjaer are my favourites for the cup - but since those two will probably crash trying, Emmet's my dark horse to move from runner up '06 to winner this year - he should be able to pass Lvov and Geipel pretty easily at the start of race two.

Bramzel · 28 Oct 2007, 12:23 (Ref:2053209)

Does anybody know if Race 2 will be streamed? As I don't have ES2 here

ss_collins · 28 Oct 2007, 14:31 (Ref:2053289)

ES2 seem to be struggling to show race 2 right now - ideas anyone?

Knowlesy · 28 Oct 2007, 14:37 (Ref:2053296)

I assume the race has been delayed.

Hope so anyways!

PorscheFanNo1 · 28 Oct 2007, 14:39 (Ref:2053298)

Delayed to 15.40 what I heard, which is about now.

Bezzen · 28 Oct 2007, 14:39 (Ref:2053299)

15:45 according to the live timing.

**FIRE** · 28 Oct 2007, 14:45 (Ref:2053303)

Standing start today?

**FIRE** · 28 Oct 2007, 14:52 (Ref:2053309)

It's a shame there are no Honda's anymore in WTCC. In the hands of a good driver it's still a competative car in the privateer class.

Moller makes the same mistake as Ceresoli.

**FIRE** · 28 Oct 2007, 14:53 (Ref:2053312)

Companico and Lundgard already 7th and 8th? Good race for them because they were stuck in gravel in race 1.

**FIRE** · 28 Oct 2007, 15:18 (Ref:2053328)

Nykjær (not the lightest driver in the field

) wins ETC Cup. Well done.

Danmark wins Nations Cup.

PorscheFanNo1 · 28 Oct 2007, 15:19 (Ref:2053330)

Engström 2nd and Mörth 3rd I belive.

Hazard · 28 Oct 2007, 15:22 (Ref:2053332)

Looks like Morth was given a 30 second penalty in race one, hence Charlie Geipel's pole and Morth starting 9th - kinda gave Denmark the nations cup.

Another good drive by him in race two though.

They appeared to have forgotten to throw the chequered flag in the second race. Evident as by the next lap, Morth had passed Poulsen, but Poulsen was credited with 2nd.

Good win for Nykjaer though, and not surprising.

Good runs from Campanico & Ceresoli to recover to 8th and 9th.

Despite I don't like this Mickey Mouse track the racing was good. Unfortunaly they showed only the front runners.

And lots of Super 1600's

Same as WTCC really - they should focus on more cars and action.

E46 · 28 Oct 2007, 19:53 (Ref:2053568)

GR Asia drivers line-up wasn´t so weak.

Great effort for this team with SEAT cars. Michel Nykjaer has been fantastic at wheel, and now he seems to travel to Macau for the last WTCC round.
