Yes, but he will follow the team to come Macau as the role of an advisor

Free travel. Free meals. Not bad.



The team is still miles away from Munnich.

6 wild cards are granted for the Macau Round: Andre Couto, Filipe de Souza, Lam Kam San, Rui Valente, Kevin Tse, Lo Kai Fung

So there are 31 cars will go for the final round, hope this outcome can satisfy many people's wish, including me.

31 cars at Macau. Are we taking bets on how many will be left in one piece by the end?

Mixed feelings about Macau. I like the track but there are way to many crashes which results in yellow and red flags.

After watching Bathurst 1000 would like to see WTCR final at that event.

Don't forget the 107% qualifying rule. It may eliminate some racers for the main race.

they have toughened it up and lowered it to 105% so theres even more chance some will be eliminated after qualifying.

from touring car times: to ensure the drivers handed wildcard status are ready for the high-level competition they will face, and will be capable of qualifying within the lowered 105 per cent limit.

15.

André Couto to ignore a yellow plag and cause a midfield pileup.

I suggest they will purchase the VIP Club Package, please do so if you want to meet and greet Tiago in Macau.

Giovanardi has left the Mulsanne Team. What a shame, I wanted to see him at least in Suzuka. He will be replaced by Gigi Ferrara, a talented guy that is vice champion in TCR Italy 2018.

Giovanardi will be back and won't retire

The Alfa project has been a bit of a let down. Fast, sure. But very fragile.

There's no comparison. That's a 2.0 race engine using spec parts, the Ferrari Alfa is a 1.75 production based engine that's never been competitive enough.

Suzuka - Audi with +60kg, Honda +30kg
Audi will be the heavier car in Suzuka with a +60kg of ballast. Cupra and Honda also gain weight. Cupra now with +30kg and Honda +40kg.

10kg less for the Golf GTI. The others will remain with the same Bop. I think Suzuka wil be interesting

However i don't like this BOP with so many up&down all over the season

That's because FIA and Eurosport call's it compensation weights not BOP

But I agree with you, it would be much more interesting if they introduced track based compensation weight. That way they will eliminate both dominating cars like Hyundai on twisted circuits or Audi on fast circuits on these kind of circuits and also stop 'punishing' the best cars like they did to Hyundai on Zandvoort, VW on Slovakiaring or Audi at Hungaroring.

If it works in SRO series, why won't it work in WTCR and TCR Series championships?

30 cars in one second on 6km long track promises great racing.
