Not in my opinion. Salzburgring's a proper old-school, balls-out kind of track which offers great slipstreaming battles and a good overtaking opportunity into the first chicane.

None of the races I've seen at Zolder recently have been memorable.

Lynk was testing there, so they won't have that advantage now.

I agree, both are old style tracks. We'll see, I remeber good races also in Zolder with the old Superstars V8 Series but in mixed weather conditions. Of course different championship and different cars...

Even in the BTCC you get a few tracks where overtaking is difficult, yet they still manage to put on a good show. At least we are not going back to Morocco again

Not a fan of him personally, but Jack is a really impressive driver from Clios and his appearance in TCR Europe.

Glad to see a different brand in WTCR too.

So Filippi Is officially confirmed and It seems for all the WTCR Championship alongside Vernay.

The Italian driver reached the agreement after the 14th August so it's registered as a wild card from Zolder onwards!

-----------------

He struggled in TCR Europe with FWD, let's see what he can do in this second season in touring car

To be fair, he stuck it on pole for Hyundai in the first round a few weeks ago. Think the commentary stated he had failed to finish / qualify in the top 10 before, though.

Yes very active in Italy also in rallying! They invest a lot in motorsport

Vernay also first in the official WTCR test in Zolder but the big teams seems to have not showned the real potential of their cars, firstly Link&Co

Shame for Azcona, expected him to be much higher up. Zengo have been fairly unimpressive since the Michelisz days to be fair, their third driver was 4+ seconds off the pace...

Always rated Berthon highly after his first year so very pleased to see him get pole! Can't help but think the Audis have some favourable BOP though, with the Hyundais taking too big a hit.

No testing with the new car, I'm sure Zengo will recover as the season progress

If WTCR continues going this path I don't see a long future of it especially because it was supposed to be a 'customer racing' but manufacturers have a lot to say.

WTCC/R has always been ruled by incompetence. Although you could say the same about every racing series that has ever existed.

Girolami won the first race but two of his teammates blew up.

It was nice of Euroshit to throw a full-length ad-break in there 2/3 of the way through the race.
