A few new cars:
Crash.net mentioned Maurizio Ceresoli will join the series in a Metelli backed León. Massimiliano Pedalá will drive Seat Sport Italia's second León. Oscar Nogues will drive a Seat as a prize for his Supercopa win. The german Eurosport commentary mentioned Maria de Villota will race in her Chevrolet Lacetti from team Maurer (and they'll do PROCAR series). Also, in german newspaper MsA there was a big story about a new Lexus diesel project from Tim Blake / Team LGT. Ex-formula one mechanics James East and George Ryton are involved. They'll announce it soon, their first race meeting will be in Oschersleben. Driver will be Kurt Luby, for the second car they try to get Rickard Rydell. No works support from Toyota Europe though. Hmm, I think we have to be careful with this... Looks a bit like another Skoda/Brilliance/Lada to me. There are also rumours about an Opel works entry from 2008. |

I think the original plan had been a 2-car team, Luby and Erdos. Luby started the season, and was replaced mid-season by Erdos- from what I've read on several forums the second car never got beyond a bare shell Last edited by KA; 9 May 2007 at 15:48. |

Ceresoli has number 22, so is his car also run by GR Asia?

I think Nogues will run another european race to avoid a another crazy weekend as last year (3 supercup races, 2 wtcc races and qual. for both).

Although it must be said that Zandvoort the only track of the WTCC where the Bears had been before the WTCC-races, so let's see how they are going to perform in Spain... |

The BMWs should be favourites, but Seat have a good chassis and are on home ground. It'll be interesting to see if Chevrolet can carry over their good form from Holland. |

Another interesting question: Where was Sergio Hernandez? He wasn't on the grid at Zandvoort. So I don't think it is clear that he will start in Valencia

Of course, Valencia. Should have guessed. Another out of nowhere Alfa Romeo pole! Well done Thommo!
Old chum Yvan right alongside |

Thompson on pole. Thats a surprise for me.
Top 19 in 1 second. Only 2 Bimmers in top 12. No longer a German domination. What's wrong with Coronel? At Zandvoort he could blame the Dutch PM but this time? |

Very very very close
Thommo and Jourdain are positive surprises. But what's up with Zanardi? |
