2010 World Touring Car Championship

Silence before the storm maybe ?! :D

According to most latest news i could find, Lada's director told that they will be more consistent and strong in 2010 and they are proud of with their 2009 performance espicially with Thompson. And this new's date is 29 November. 2 months with silence is really strange.

Thats fantastic news! We saw him driving last year in Brands Hatch and he was so fast, but bad luck in both races got in his way! With a TDI i see him finishing really high in the championship!

Wasn't he a sim racer a few years ago?

Yes, as I know he used to race at gtr-masters.hu with GTR & GTR2, it was about 5-6 years ago. Then Zoltán Zengő asked Gabor Weber to find a fast driver. He called Norbi. :)
After this he won the national suzuki swift and renault clio cups, and finished P2 in his third year in Seat Leon Hungarian cup :)

seatleontdi..jpgThe newly established SR-Sport, emanation of SUNRED Engineering Development, will field a very strong four-car team in the 2010 FIA WTCC.
Thanks to their strong ties with SEAT Sport, the Spanish outfit managed to put together a quartet of SEAT León TDI machines that will be entrusted to the capable hands of former SEAT Sport drivers: the reigning World Champion Gabriele Tarquini, the 2009 Independents’ Trophy winner Tom Coronel, Tiago Monteiro and Jordi Gené. Altogether they claimed 16 WTCC race wins so far.

They have died silently! Not really nice for their fans to not even issue a statement what so ever.

Edit: Hmm looking at the entry list i see the numbers 12,13,14 are still available. Maybe they join in later?
