You're not a true motorsports fan at all.

Congrats to Priaulx on his fourth consecutive E/WTCC title. Also, Chevy got one more win before the year is up!

Priaulx is just simply put awesome. Fourth straight title, that is quite an achievement in this series.[/quote]

well done andy top man!!

From a fellow Guernseyman " Well done Andy"

Portello · 19 Nov 2007, 13:27 (Ref:2070830)

Also an extraordinary success for Thommo with his vintage Alfa 156 and for N.Technology. Nobody could expect them to be in the title race until the last minutes!

Huisman better will get a very nice reward from BMW. He could have won the 2nd race if he didn't let Priaulx get passed. Now he has nothing.
Priaulx is a worthy champion nevertheless. Well done in every possibel way.

Robbe · 19 Nov 2007, 14:50 (Ref:2070879)

Huisman really deserves a full time WTCC drive, no matter if RBM or WSR.

I don't hope so, as my opinion of racing are high revving engines and a thrilling sound...

@asa: I can't remember, that the Gr. A cars overtook more in the city streets. Maybe thats a too good view on the past...
Even if I like the old days of BMW M3 E30 and Merc Evo 2!!!!!!

Once again I just think its a shame these races are so short, thankfully there was no safety car in either race, but there was a race possibly last year, where a lot of it was under the SC, and there were just a handful of racing laps, not a good "show" in my opinion. The races should be (on average) about 4-6 laps longer (depending on track length).

yes i do like incidents and some crashes when drivers are battleing for postions like in btcc but i do enjoy good racing, i don't watch all motorsports so im not a fan like probally most of the people on here.

Bleu · 19 Nov 2007, 19:40 (Ref:2071098)

I would be also in favour of longer races, probably 75 kms could be good.

Gil Abobeleira · 19 Nov 2007, 22:03 (Ref:2071221)

Bring back those 30 lap enduros at the Guia Race

Stefvh · 19 Nov 2007, 22:12 (Ref:2071228)

Or at least, more than 9 laps.

15 could be enough.

Even though he had dropped one position in the race you could see Thommo's delight on the podium.

I can only presume Thommo wrung every last drop of performance out of the Alfa; so show's the speed of the Chervolet at Macau when Larini got past.

Osella · 20 Nov 2007, 20:45 (Ref:2071981)

Unbelievable. I just watched the races yesterday. Priaulx is incredible; likewise Thompson. I agree, the races could/should be longer.

I can't remember ANY overtaking moves since Super 2000 took over. Zero.

We don't have to go back to Gp. A. We had more excitement even in the Super Production days. Franz Engstler chasing Henry Lee Jr all the way round the track and almost losing it; Nicola Larini trying to overtake Andre Couto along Mandarin Bend...etc. DTM and Super Touring were good, too.

Stefvh · 21 Nov 2007, 10:16 (Ref:2072345)

You can't remember, but there were some.

Hehe mate look at the front page of the site :
http://www.touringcartimes.com/news.php?id=1650

BMW is working on a 2 liter diesel engine! I told you and that was highly predictible, plus most of the manufacturers have good diesel engines.

Unless the regulation changes, I guess all top cars will be diesel powered by 2010.

And I agree with you, diesel doesn't quite sound right with motorsport but Audi changed the rules with the wins at LeMans...

Either the TV miissed all of them, or they all happened outside Macau.
