    WTCC Puebla

    Following the 2 races at Puebla, Mexico; SEAT won both races, but not only that they absolutely dominated them. I know the BMW's were expected to struggle at that altitude, but the sooner they bring in the Diesel the better. Not only that, but the Chevrolet Lacetti seemed to go well. I know it's early yet, but Andy Priaulx has got his work cut out.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Yeah, after that performance I can't say it is a level playing field between the SEAT diesels and the petrol BMWs and Chevrolets.

    Could have left the 'SEAT domination' bit out of the thread title........infact I'll do it now, so nobody else gets the result in the title before they get the chance to see the races.....
    You lot still here?!

    No probs. Watching the rerun of race 2 now. Why do they not show both races the morning after? I can't work that one out.

    How do you mean? Who isn't showing both races the morning after? Eurosport? It is just you can see the coverage of races 1 & 2 in full (minus commentary) on the WTCC webite.

    If it weren't for Menu going into the gravel on about lap 10 would it have been a SEAT 1-2-3-4 & 5? Maybe. Maybe not.

    Yes, the SEAT Cars were pretty fast at Puebla, but i still don´t like diesel engines in WTTC.
    BMW hast tested a diesel car this year and this car was very fast!
    But their decision was to take the petrol engine furthermore.

    Is that not the one with no commentary though? I tried watching a rerun on that before, but lost track of what was going on because there was no commentary.
