I do agree that the combination of the first two left us with one of the most dullest race meetings ever at Marrakech last year.

That's easy. They already started blaming tires, like others are using different tires...

1926 ACF Grand Prix in fact. Yes, if it only had been possible to watch it, I'd prefer that rather then this bopped muppet show.

Girolami was an idiot today. Firstly for being naïve enough to trust what he was being told on the radio in race 1, and secondly for turning across the front of Vernay in race 2 when he was in a prime position to take a huge chunk out of Ehrlacher's championship lead.

I guess some drivers aren’t destined to succeed. That’s why others are champions. Girolami hasn’t got what it takes, Enracher has a better chance due to his pedigree

Maybe, but it's a mystery how he makes mistakes in the WTCR. Maybe he would be better going back to national level, that's where he seems to feel most comfortable

Unlike the old previous WTCC spec, these cars can at least race each other, so we should have some action

Good luck to anyone wanting to watch race 2 this weekend. Euroshit won't be showing it until the highlights programme on Monday. They're showing races 1 & 3 in full, although race 3 will be on at 1 AM. Repeats of cycling & snooker are far more important, apparently.

It appears that all 3 races are being shown on the Eurosport Player app for those that have subscribed.

Why can't they get the BoP right? They're either in front or in back. Isn't there any way to get them close and to keep it that way?

You can either put the 10 ton weight in the boot (Trunk) of the car, or you don't.

Santiago Urrutia keeps getting mixed results. Not an easy year for him.



BoP is a bit too extreme.

Today at Aragón, Santiago Urrutia scored three podiums. Too bad I woke up late and oly watched the last race. He climbed to 7th in the overall standings.


Both Ehrlacher and Guerrieri had bad races today. They are just 7 points apart.

What the heck were those track limits all about?

In race 1 and 2 you can basically do what you want. In race three, four laps from home, all of a sudden track limit warnings are issued. But not corner specific. Or for Azcona or Vernay, who are apparently exempt.

Utter incompetence.

Race 1 and 2 were entertaining. Still have to watch race 3.

And yes track limits....

Or Sonoma.
But NASCAR is NASCAR.

It's not only WTCR but you see it in more series.
You can't blame the drivers when the officials don't care.
Has also to do with tarmac runoff areas.

They just let it go usually in NASCAR, apart from the odd oval

The talk about track limits has got dull beyond belief. Just have grass or whatever so drivers can’t necessarily gain an advantage, you can’t blame them when there’s no proper deterrent
