FIA WTCR 2018 - Race of Hungary - Hungaroring

[Rubio]

Accidentally discovered that Race 1 is scheduled to run at the same time as F1 qualifying. Race 2 as at hte same time as F1 race.

How do they want to attract people to watch their first race on social media? Very poor scheduling of the first 2 rounds including Marrakech.

At Eurosport they do not care about F1. They care about cycling and pool and that kind of stuff.

That may be true, but they must realise that F1 is still the biggest motorsport draw in many countries and takes away viewers. Anyway, if there are race replays on the internet, it's not such a big deal.

and also stop clashing with BTCC weekends as well

[Bramzel]

A calendar without clashes is an utopia. There are so many factors to deal with, you can't please them all.

At least it's not like the time the British WTCC round clashed with the BTCC meeting at Oulton

It's only because WTCR has not a British round this year

[Rubio]

Ok, so unfortunately it wasn't that Marrakech better suited the Hyundais, the gap is quite big to the rest (Honda the only exception).

I'm afraid they'll have to BoP it slightly

It hasn’t had one since 2011

Huge disappointment for Audi, only Vernay saves the car performance but he is 11°

As I said in the past, it seems that the BOP is very light for the start of this season. It should be modified to allow more car to be competitive. Hyundai and Honda are surely the best car, BOP apart

Should be a good race though

They'll be lots of crying by VAG group drivers this evening.

Well Shedden is blaiming the car

Comini did the the same last year, although with different tones and we know hod it ended

[Rubio]

To be fair, Audis were struglling here last year in TCR, so not particularly surprised to see this.

BoP was done well except Hyundai, IMO.

[BobJones]

Now, why would Yann Erlacher get a radio message asking him not to go too fast to avoid getting the fastest lap? BoP games.

honda and hyundai have simply the best drivers! Audi drivers are maybe good for national series! here they sucks!
