The FIA World Touring Car Championship will welcome a Brazilian team and driver for the next race meeting – the WTCC HBSC Race of Brazil that will take place in Curitiba on July 1st and 2nd.

TekProm, a young team that was created in 2003 but has already proven highly competitive reaching important results in national races, have entered a former WTCC Alfa Romeo 156 built in Italy by N.technology.
In 2005 this car participated in three rounds of the Brazilian Endurance championship in Santa Cruz do Sul, São Paulo and Londrina, claiming two victories and one second place, which meant a second position in the series' final classification.
At the beginning of the current season the TekProm Alfa Romeo won the STCC class in the Mil Milhas de Interlagos, Brazil's important international race.
23-year old Lucas Molo will take the wheel of the Alfa Romeo for the WTCC event. He built considerable experience when he began racing in the Italian Formula 3 championship. Since he came back to Brazil he has raced in the Renault Clio Cup and claimed some outstanding results in endurance races such as the 1000 Km de Brasília and the Mil Milhas de Interlagos.
In 2004 and 2005 Molo won the Endurance national title driving Ferrari cars (a 360 Modena and a 550 Maranello) run by TekProm. Only the second coloured driver in the history of Brazilian motor sport, Molo is considered as one of its finest emerging talents.

Giovanardi will drive for JAS in Brazil, replacing Corthals

Corthals will also miss race in Mexico, but there's no decision about replacement yet. Gio is busy with BTCC that weekend.

Hazard · 20 Jun 2006, 19:06 (Ref:1637944)

Honda were pretty competitive in Mexico last year, mostly as no one had a set-up advantage.

Could probably expect the same from Brazil I guess.

Kidzer · 20 Jun 2006, 19:09 (Ref:1637946)

Hmm, I wonder why PYC is missing the flyaway races though...

However, will be good for the team - having a top touring car driver there for a weekend, could help push the car on a little bit more

**FIRE** · 20 Jun 2006, 19:14 (Ref:1637952)

Nice to have him back.

Are there no Mexican drivers who can race in the Mexican race? Mario Dominguez has Champcar commitments that weekend. Adrian Fernandeze, Luis Diaz, ...?

Didn´t Corthals bring Monroe sponsorship?

**FIRE** · 20 Jun 2006, 20:31 (Ref:1638009)

Yep

Probably he has other commitments (or he doesn't like flying

)

Will Monroe continue sponsoring JAS?

Kidzer · 21 Jun 2006, 21:58 (Ref:1638673)

I would imagine so, its only 2 (or 3, if he misses macau aswell - being another FLYaway race, and Flying is his problem..which im not sure of tbh) races that he wont take part in - and although they are his sponsor, they've probably got a contract with JAS for sponsorship.

Hazard · 21 Jun 2006, 22:39 (Ref:1638710)

Are we certain Corthals isn't there because he's afraid of flying?! Or has FIRE's joke just turned into fact?

You'd be done for not putting that on your CV when entering a WORLD Touring Car Championship!

**FIRE** · 22 Jun 2006, 11:31 (Ref:1639019)

Maybe he has a deal to race only in the European events (+ Macau)?

Did JAS hire Couto for the Macau race last year or did Couto bring sponsorship with him? Or I guess a bit of both since Couto is the hometown driver?

It´s a surprise that Farfus isnt leading at least the first practice.

Thats odd FIRE, thats not the results that appear on - http://www.fiawtcc.com/livemst.html for me, how odd..

I guess that FIRE ´s times are correct. If you look the times tables Terting is faster than Rydell.

Surely live times died during the practice.

Hmmm but has Farfus actually driven in Curitiba before ? If I understand correctlly this: http://www.alfasport.net/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1529, he only raced in karts in Brazil.
