2015 WTCC silly season
Dahlgren isn't just a driver, he's also an engineer. Behind the scenes his part in Volvo's V8 succes is apparently bigger then most think. V8's are notoriously difficult to learn, I guess they need his skills to set up their WTCC programme?

This possibility is confirmed by Portuguese motorsport federation, so may be really possible.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2C2XYFzoCs I have to say that this is a great track, I would definitely like to see it in WTCC, reminds a bit of Macau, though much wider and faster |

according to touringcars.ru Münnich Motorsport sold one of their RML Cruze, the buyer is not mentioned. it is also likely that the team will retire completly from WTCC.
a few weeks ago Uwe Winter said that Rene Münnich is planning to drive in World Rallycross and WTCC next year, guess he was wrong. Last edited by Metzo; 23 Nov 2014 at 20:45. |

I have to admit that touringcars.ru is rather a blog, and information isn't that much reliable. In the article about Munnich he makes only a guess based on the info that Munnich will drive only one car. I would rely more on TcT information. Though, it's a pity to see Munnich downsize his efforts, Morbidelli has done a good season, even won a race what will be impossible to repeat by Rene Munnich on his own

According to TcT, Morbidelli has said Munnich is looking to run a sole Chevy for himself.

Then All-Inkl team will become a genuine "private" entry. Really sad to see such a successful team with great drivers and champions in GT ending up like this. The call by Rene Munnich is rather weird though, first moving away from GT3 and Euro Rallycross, then letting Huff go, and finally downsizing the team to serve himself only, for he has never got even close to the rest of the field.

Indeed in Macau René Münnich couldn't even keep pace with the TC2 cars. I would have more respect for him if he continues to run a proper 'racing stable' which also includes talented drivers.

Did René wrote it somewhere or you heard it from him personally?

No Salzburgring in 2015
https://www.facebook.com/pages/IGM-S...07571375931339 Meanwhile, Honda have begun testing (it seems) at Motorland Aragon, so they definitely are working to catch Citroen |

To challenge Citroen, Honda must improve the car but beside all, must contract a proper driver. Here in Argentina there are 2 or 3 that made life difficult to Lopez...

JAS simply needs to up its game. Zengo/Michelisz beat them many times this year, and if a privateer beats both of your drivers on a regular basis at least some alarm bells should go off.

They should go more to proper racing tracks like Zandvoort, Salzburgring, Spa, Brands Hatch instead of those citystreettracks...

Tarquini and Monteiro are good drivers but they are no match for Lopez/Muller even Huff (ok, Tarquini ousted Muller once but still) - Tiago doesn't have so much speed while Gabriele's age seems to begin playing a factor. Michelisz was faster than both of them and that means a lot
BTW, Michelisz is testing together with factory Honda team at Aragon |
