[Tony Prosser]

Should do it in motorhomes.

Hungaroring is expected to be announced as the replacement for the cancelled race at Marrakech. The new race weekend is expected to be hosted on the same date as originally planned for the African race, on the 5th of June 2011.

Yeeehaaaaw! Best news I could hear!

 

[Yann Laprevotte]

Nice stuff, never seen touring cars on that track but it should be a good track for them.

 

[James Chant]

Nice. Another change of scenery for WTCC. they should juggle the venues around even more to make it more interesting, there are some great circuits out there that would benefit from this type of event!

 

[Ivo Simons]

Yeah indeed. Scrap those boring tracks and go back to Zandvoort for example.

 

[Erik Tveit]

Zandvoort, Spa, Monza, Macau, Suzuka, Hochenheim, Nurburgring, you name it!

 

[Yann Laprevotte]

Plus a North American tour maybe. Watkins Glen, Road Atlanta and Mid Ohio anyone?

I totally agree, way too many kart-ish tracks on the calendar at the moment. But those are a real plague in so many types of motorsports nowadays.

 

[SteffenLS]

WTCC on Nordschleife - if that happens one of my dreams comes true at last
I wouldn't mind if it was 3 laps instead of 2 laps, but I def. accept 2 laps hehe

I sow it and I just couldn't belive it.

 

[Omer Said]

This is indeed a fiasco :O

 

[Zeynel Babacan]

ohhh :O

 

[ufunacaoenn]

its now official, that it wasn't a mistake by saftycar driver. it was coming from race control who told the sc driver to stay on the track because there was an oreca stopping on straight. but although they switched the lights to green...

That's what I read from nogripracing.com

We already reported three weeks ago that the boss of the FIA World Touring Car Championship Marcelo Lotti is looking into the possibility of hosting two races at the Nurburgring Nordschleife. This statement obviously has inspired Volvo to record a lap on the legendary 22 kilometer long track with a 405 bhp strong prototype Volvo C30 Polestar and FIA WTCC driver Robert Dahlgren behind the wheel:

What is your opinion about top touring car racing maybe returning to the Ring? Too dangerous or just too cool?

 

[Tom Blackett]

bring it on.:tongue:

 

[Angel Alejandro]

Very cool!

 

[James Chant]

Not dangerous but boring. Only 2 laps, and little opportunity to overtake, WTCC is tedious enough already.
