If this is a pole lap, then Alain Menu is the best qualifier of his generation.

Nice to see Turkington back. First BMW in Q2, great job. However, if he manages to stay with the leading pack in the races, then it'll say a lot about poor WTCC, considering that Colin can barely get further than midpack in STCC.

A bit disappointed to not see Boardman this time though, I kinda expected him to come back to the British meeting considering that BTCC is in Summer break.

Also, race 2 is going to be epic with the Chevy 8-9-10. I'm wondering if they will actually manage to get back on the leading group before the end of the race.

Looks to be 2 wet races going by the weather forecast.

Bad for me as I'll be there trying to keep my camera dry....but the rain should make for good racing.

Don't forget about Turkington that he raced on this track several times, while he have never driven on the Scandinavian tracks earlier.

lol Michaelisz is a waste of space

 

[Trebor901]

Yvan Muller out of order with the contact on Huff, needs to be given a penalty but crappy FIA will probably let him get away with it

 

[Ross Balfour]

WTCC annoys me, foprced myself to watch it today - just looked like a destruction derby, there are a handful of drivers with proper world class talent and the rest are just aggressive wreckers... complete joke of a series IMO!

 

[Hannu Karesola]

Watched race2 and was very dissapointed to see how people are driving. I was hoping that racing has become better than last time I watched but no way. Rubbish series atm.

The funny thing is that it is probably one of the stricter touring car series of the world on contacts. People seems to be complaining about it but in BTCC or even STCC I do not think they would be giving a single penalty in that round.

We have many good clean races in a season, but this weekend saw more incident than normal. Also one of the best World Class drivers in Tarquini was in the middle of most of them. It doesn't mean poor standards, just a bad day at the office!!!!

 

[Philip Antonia]

Volvo and Dahlgren were awesome by the way. If he'd started at the front he would have given the Chevys grief:good:.

 

[Trebor901]

Muller has a 3 place grid penalty for the next race but i think Tarquini should have been punished aswell he's a very very experienced racer and should know the difference between right and wrong

 

[Tom Barratt]

I had a good day marshaling on the inside of the loop, i didnt get any incidents other than turkington spinning right infront of me. At lunch i met Turkington and a few other drivers in the toilet lol, if you ever want an autograph this is the best place to wait

 

[Nick Deeley]

The first race was very good, some good racing in it.

Race 2 was more destruction and bad driving, particularly by Tarquini. He's got reprimanded but I'm surprised he wasn't punished more.

I hate the British summer though...but it does make for some nice photos.

 

[David J Anderson]

Too bad the old way of making up grid isn't still used. Would have been great to watch Dahlgren on pole, and give Volvo theirfirst win in WTCC in ages.

 

[Trebor901]

This rolling start business takes the mick waved by twice now, how thick are these drivers? no excuses for breaking the rolling start rules

 

[Maurice Hurkmans]

Well done to Franz "safetycar hunter" Engstler for taking the win in race 2. His first WTCC win ever.

 

[Jack Keithley]

Yeah brilliant job - delighted for him and the whole team

 

[Zeynel Babacan]

yeeaahh finally a BMW victory
