I Hope that Munnich keeps him.
I guess Tassi Attila has more chance to drive that All-Inkl Honda (near Guerrieri ans Rene Munnich).

Imho Comini could end up in the Campos Seat.

As far as I know, Munnich will run 2 cars and not 3. Anyway, il He brings 3 Hondas, If I were him I would try to place Tassi and Comini.

What about DG? Homola and... ?

Yes Comini should be in the WTCR. It seems strange that Audi choses Shedden instead of a quick driver who knows quite well the RS3. However Shedden I'm sure will be terribly fast

I dont find that strange at all. Shedden is a rocket. And unlike Comini he never described the Audi as “undrivable“.

And still Comini is my favourite driver... it's a shame that Cometoyou runs 4 cars and chooses 3 b-list drivers at best.

If I had to bet on the 2018 champion today i would put my money on Vernay or Shedden. Audi seems to take the champioship pretty serious and by having a B-team with lesser known drivers they can get a lot of support in the races and some backmarkers to keep the bop police quiet when WRT scores points by the dozen. Imagine Shedden, Vernay and Vervisch score a 1-2-3. When someone complains about their weight, theyll just point at one of the Cometoyou backmarkers to prove that the success was only because of their drivers. If Muller, Michelisz and Björk does the same in a Hyundai and Tarquini places in 9th, theyll have +20kg next weekend. Plus Hyundai has too many drivers to steal points away from each other, because of their very comparable speed. Hondas approach seems to be to “scattered“ and JAS doesnot have a good track record on reliability. Alfa and Peugeot arnt works effords and didnt put the team or driver power needed behind it. If Seat comes with Campos they will play second fiddle the VAG Audi team.

You obviously haven't followed the BTCC or Shedden the past years...

I was still hoping for a ROAL Hyundai despite knowing better, but it's great to see him in the championship at least. Let's hope the new Honda is a bit more reliable than the last one...

Dude, he has never been a real factory driver and still has 6 WTCC wins and a career high 4th in the final standings on his resumee. I wonder whether there is any privateer with a comparable success in WTCC.

So BTCC is crap in your opinion, and Coronel an anonymous.

I will be honest: I don't like Coronel too. There are a lot of better drivers without a team; Tom is too dirty, exaggerated, always beyond the limit with no necessary maneuvers. But I also understand The great amount of sponsors he has...

Coronel was a great driver in his time in Japan. He then won some independent trophies in WTCC and now i don't think he is that bad. Don't forget he raced a Chevy in this last seasons...

13 years of wtcc and his best was 4th in 2011 where there was just 3 official drivers and one single manufacture (Chevrolet). Anyway time is gentlemen. We will see which great results he will get now that he has a competitive car. We will see if he will beat monteiro or guerrieri (that last year had his same old Chevy cruze and he got 2 wins).

I bet he won't enter in top 8.
