Think they're out of time for entry into the 1988 British Touring Car Championship

Well it looks like a Chevrolet Lacetti from where I'm sitting.

I don't want to wash dirty lienen in public but financial situation at AutoVAZ is far from good. It's on its last legs. So their thoughts are far from sport.
In fact that team that racing in WTCC is private. There's no works Lada team. Everything is up to Shapovalov,an engineer,and van Lagen, a test pilot. That's all. And,as you've noticed,the debut has postponed to Portugal race.And they've planned to introduce Priora in Brno,as you remember... So,from the realistic point of view,there'll be no new Lada. And, of course, it's not a works team at all! |

Even Hummer's aerodynamic is better than 110's, so surely, it will be a great step forward. If you add a new engine... I hope it's not transparent

I really like the effort they are putting into this project. Will they succeed? I guess not, but I do hope they will!
Support the underdog. But when I read the story about the new car it sounds to me as though they just put the old technology in a new body. Especially when you know that the Priora is just a facelifted 110. But, let's wait and see! |

Mr Putin has recently checked the plant himself,and then it got a huge sum as a goverment support. And if AutoVaz is a profitable manufacturer then you don't know what a russian car-plant is. Its structure has been developed in the great times of planned economics,so it can not be profitable today at all.
Of course, we know who is Mr Ladygin. AutoVAZ has helped Shapovalov with homologation too. It's not a privat team. It's not a works one. So,it appeared to be something really special! You can enjoy it driving in the back of the pack,but I prefer reading interesting book or walking in the park breathing deeply as spring has come at last. It's better for health... |
