2010 World Touring Car Championship

That's less strange than Tata's sponsorship on Ferrari :smile:

Not really, TATA is a huge group, they don't only sell cars.

Since Mexico won't be hosting a GP, there was a short interview with some guys..

http://www.autosport.nl/news/19814/...r_mexico_cpz_zou_uitdaging_graag_aangaan.html

I'll just translate the important parts:

Mocht de organisatie een vervangende locatie zoeken, zal Circuit Park Zandvoort zeker niet bij voorbaat afwijzend reageren.

If the (WTCC)-organization is looking for a replacement for Mexico, Circuit Park Zandvoort won't deny beforehand.

,,Wij zijn nog niet benaderd door KSO, de organisatie van WTCC-promotor Marcello Lotti. Het weekend van 10 en 11 april is natuurlijk heel kort dag, maar waar een wil is zou een weg moeten zijn.’’

We haven't been contacted by the KSO yet, the organization from WTCC-promotor Marcello Lotti. The weekend of 10th and 11th of April is very close from now, but if we want it we can do it.

That would be brilliant? But please fill me in: is mexico not hosting a race this year?

If they again fall back to zandvoort it deserves to stay on it, as they did a great job in 2007!

Good to see the SEAT's not at the top of teh time sheets hopefully they'll stay in the midfield

 

[Barry Morse]

rob huff

The only good thing in it imo is that we see different cars at the top, not 5 identical cars in a row. But I would like to see them joining the factory teams for the fight, more cars winning races makes it more interesting.

[Dario Jagar]
