Priaulx King Of Touring Cars

[YesNo]

After two races full of drama in front of fully packed grandstands, the hopes of Yvan Muller and SEAT disappeared on the penultimate lap of the first race, when the diesel pump of the Frenchman’s León TDI broke while he was leading.

From that moment on, everything turned in favour of Priaulx, who finished eighth to gain a one-point edge in the classification and the right to start the second race from pole position.

With Muller sidelined for good, only James Thompson was in a position to threaten the Guernseyman's attempt to retain the title. Thompson tried hard and with a fantastic start jumped Nicola Larini and chased Priaulx closely in the first laps.

But as the race went on, Priaulx created a gap and eventually Thompson lost second place to Larini.

Priaulx's triumph and Muller's dismay meant that BMW also won the Manufacturers' Championship with only a six-point margin ahead of SEAT - a close call which is testament to how competitive the championship season was, with BMW, SEAT, Chevrolet and Alfa Romeo all fighting at a similar level.

Alain Menu won the first race for Chevrolet, claiming his fifth victory of the season and the seventh for the GM Group's brand.

To complete BMW's lucky day, Stefano D'Aste claimed the Independents' Trophy – the second in three years for the Wiechers-Sport team – while his fellow competitor Luca Rangoni won both races in Macau, finishing runner up and giving Proteam Motorsport the Teams' Trophy.

The FIA WTCC faces a short break now, before the start of the 2008 season, on March 2 in Curitiba, Brazil.

Danas čitam da BMW intezivno radi na diesel makini s kojom misli nastavit natjecanje, odnosno da 3er sa dieselom već juri "šumama" i već je sad vrlo blizu
benzinca. M.Thiessen ih odgovara od projekta ali to je možda samo zavaravanje konkurencije..

Da, koliko sam čitao ozbiljno su krenuli u diesel varijantu ali mislim da ništa od toga u 2008. godini.

Sve se više petlja s tim dieselom pa tako i ovi u LeMans-u Peugeot i Audi.
Za peugeot 908 znam da ima oko 700ks 1200nm 950kg ide oko 350 a da nema zavoja išo bi oko 400 km/h.
Samo radi usporedbe taj isti peugeot sporiji je od F1 za oko 8sec po krugu na stazi Interlagos Sao Paulo.
