Race 17 & 18 - Oschersleben (GER), 6th September 2009


After a long break it's time for the World Touring Car Championship again.

Quote:
Two Danish drivers will join the championship at the German event: Jason Watt and Michel Nykjær. For both of them this will be their first appearance in the FIA WTCC.
Watt, who is currently fourth in the Danish Touring Car Championship, will drive a petrol-powered SEAT León entered by Team Bygma. His previous and only appearance in the FIA Touring Cars dates back to the 2004 European Championship, when he raced at Donington in a Peugeot 307.
Watt’s racing career suffered a serious blow in 1999; after finishing runner up in the FIA Formula 3000 championship he lost the use of his legs following a motorcycle crash. He came back the year after, using driving aid systems to race in touring cars, and in 2002 he managed to clinch the Danish title.
Nykjær, currently second in the Danish Touring Car Championship behind James Thompson and twice a winner of the FIA European Touring Car Cup (2007 and 2008), will be at the wheel of a Chevrolet Lacetti car run by Perfection Racing. As this is the first time in the current season a Lacetti is entered in the championship, Nykjær’s car will be laden with 40kg of compensation weight. However, 30kg of this handicap will be scrapped because of two decisions issued by the Bureau during the previous years.

It was unbelievably fantastic to see it live, though we're disappointed as Félix narrowly missed what would have been an interesting Q2!
Hazard, the Ladas are all Prioras now Fantastic job from van Lagen!

I think he just realised that the rain had stuffed his qualifying, maybe it wasn't his call to come in after one lap too.

The warm-up was done under dry conditions as well as the Formula Master race which just finished. It was said that it will stay dry with a light chance of rain.
But much contrary the weather report yesterday evening spoke about two rain regions in Germany and one staying in my region. Since Oschersleben ain't too far away from here I guess it will rain there sooner or later.

Nice avatar Last2LiftOff. Do I spot a crazy canuck doing the Wengen downhill race there?

Poor van Lagen! He did a fantastic job, and was very entertaining to watch. And in that last corner he just gets pusched out of the way!

Great races performances as well for Priaulx and Coronel.

Muller made a silly mistake, but I think those tires where not where they were supposed to be. There are to maney of those anyway.

I don't think it was lot's of overtaking. I'd better say it was lot's of crashing. And they will tell me professional drivers are in WTCC? They can not even overcome mistakes in a 20 minute race. I can imagine where they would be in DTM.

I don't say anything about BTCC, where some really great drivers are, but WTCC is absolute rubish.

They'd be nowhere in DTM (how obvious) since cars would break into parts before turn 1 even

I guess its good for the championship.

Chances are that Farfus will score highly in race two, so it could be that he will lead the championship going away from Germany...?
