Congratulations Andy!

My first post in the WTCC forum!

Well done to Andy Priaulx for winning the WTCC this year. I found my favourite driver!

I just finished watching my first ever WTCC race. Macau, wow! It is so awesome! The racing was good, the on track action was brilliant and (most) of the drivers played clean. Well done to the FIA for creating a such a fantastic series. Now bring them to Australia!

Yep congrats to Andy!

Well done!

Sad for me that Rydell had a bit of bad luck in qualifying etc but Priaulx is a worthy winner for the series.

Now I'm going to bed haha.

Yeah, well done Andy - what a star! A thoroughly deserved winner, he's been the one to beat all year.

I was disappointed not to see Rydell do better, especially as he had the potential to be right up there. He is one of my favourite drivers, although it would have been weird if he had won the title, cos he never seemed to me to be the best driver this year, he was always just there or thereabouts.

The Euro was effectively the World Championship seeing as they are one and the same so my point stands.

Yep, I think it was 2002 with the K-Mart racing team. IIRC I met him that year, pretty down to Earth bloke.

Great finish to a close season. Just one point in it again, fantastic. The WTCC shiens again, with probably the best field of drivers outside F1, racing firmly but cleanly.

Congrats to Andy Priaulx... I wanted Rydell and SEAT to win, but ultimately Priaulx won it from qualifying... and from consistency.
