waiting to find out the euro sport plans for this race. I say that the BTCC champion might do alright as no body has seen this track before.

the track is amazing, who watched last year FIA GT race there, the battle between Alex Muller (Vitaphone Maserati) and Enrique Bernolidi (DKR Corvette) for 10 longs minutes !!!

This track is going to suck for the WTCC. Its too long for the length of the races. There's not enough fast portions to make it worthwhile.

Does Algarve have a shorter layout?

the cars will race on the 4.6km version of this track and there are many layouts on this track so there might be a shorter one somewhere.

Much as beach football is of massive interest, any chance Eurosport could get their schedules right just once?

I'll second the post about Plato and Thompson's commentary! Must admit my heart skipped a beat when Turkington first jumped to provisional pole, but soon realised it was not to last, yet he still ended up 10th. Not bad I'll say. For the top ten - P1: Monteiro P2: Muller P3: Farfus P4: Tarquini P5: Huff P6: Michelisz P7: Gene P8: Priaulx P9: Menu P10: Turkington For all the details: http://www.fiawtcc.com/html/uploaded...lifying_Q2.pdf (Picture below is screenshot of above link) Last edited by dyewat808; 3 Jul 2010 at 17:54. |

Thought Colin did a great job. Did anyone else hear what James Thomson said about how after practise yesterday they decided that Turkington was a bit too fast, so even though he has the older aero pack on the car, he is running the same weight as all the 2010 spec BMWs now.
Should be an interesting race tomorrow - hopefully the weather stays hot and the BMWs can come through the field as the races ware on. |

Good first race, nice to see Tiago Monteiro win at his home race.

im sorry but Barth's move on Turkington was a bit out of order the track is nice but it is no way a touring car track imo i personally think it suits bikes and sports / gt / le mans series cars a lot better

I know what you mean. It flows a bit too well and has no real stop/start corners for overtaking that a touring car likes. It still looks good though, I like that penultimate right hander. The angle on the TV reminds me of Paddock Hill.

No spectators? Seems to me not a single soul bothered to turn up.

Race 2 was not as good as race 1 but still ok.
Huffy got a 30s penalty for contact with several other cars. |

Would it kill Eurosport to have a third channel?

Odd how Huff hits Farfus and Farfus loses 1-2 places = penalty for Huff. Barth knocks Turkington and Priaulx out and gets nothing...
