Liqui Moly is main sponsor of Team Engstler, sponsoring the WTCC events and TV ads on Eurosport. So they are serious about WTCC. But what I don't understand: Why do they not put a professional driver in the 2nd BMW?

The Leon is a great looking car (looks much better as this "new" SEAT Exeo) but in touring car racing I prefer saloons.

As for the SEAT drivers, Rydell has got a contract for next year.

I think the new Seat looks awful. Back end is OK but you can easily tell the front end has been a modification job on another car!

2 Lada Teams? I think Russian Bears will be the semi-works team. i've red some weeks ago that they will develop the S2000 Priora.

BTW is it just me that thinks it's weird we are so involved in WTCC silly season predictions while there is still 1/4th of this years races still to go and a dussen or so drivers still in contention for the overall win?

The Exeo is an absolute corker of a car. Who cares if it's an Audi, she looks great!

Volvo could come, because WTCC is going to race on bio-ethanol. But the problem is that the C30 has not 4 doors. Quote:

I think its quite natural to be curious about the future, even if the present is still just as interesting
