I had a couple of random thoughts about the first team and driver anouncements for WTCR:
I wonder whether VAG is pushing the AUDI brand in favour of Seat and VW or those teams just choose in regard to the tracks this year (altough there are quite a few narrow tracks that should suit the Golf best while high speed venues like Salzburgring and Monza are out).
To bad cometoyou racing has rather sub-par drivers while Comini is still looking for a drive.
I still think its a joke that the FIA doesn't grant the series World Championship status besically over BOP, while in WEC GTE all cars are boped very cleverly, with manufacturer involvement and WC status. Feels like some bad publicity considerations. Or were they affraid manufacturers could pull their brands if they dont want to commit?
This Thread should finally be renamed WTCR 2018 news and rumors.
Now we have 4 world class drivers for the season with Tarquini, Michelisz, Vernay and Shedden. Hopefully there will be ~12 of those in Marakech.
