Do the race winning cars/ drivers still have ballast added in the WTCC ?

How is the grid for the second race worked out?

How is the grid for the second race worked out?

The fastest ten in the first qualifying session reversed. So 11th to last in both races remains the same.

Both grids are there, So you can see that Monteiro was fastest in Q1. I know, it's stupid.

Why Bennanni isn't for pole in race 2 and wasn't Barth really in P10?
Overall, the qualifying was fun. I think that the main point of it is the gap between the Cruze and the Leon, much smaller than what I anticipated. The old fox Tarquini can make the race something interesting, IMO. I hope that Menu will have a good race, too. I was surprised by the bad qualy of Yvan Muller. He made many mistakes in his final effort.
