WTCC

[seb_sh]

I agree with you guys, the FIA is making a mockery of the wtcc with all the balancing and leveling rule changes, most of them are incredibly artificial and awarded on case by case basis.

I think they are paranoid they will loose manufacturers if all aren't competitive and tbh can't really blame them, Alfa is pretty much gone which leaves 3 manufacturers officially entered, pretty low for a _world_ championship. (Is Honda going to be officially represented by NTechnology or are they privateers?)

the honda is as works backed as the alfa has been for the last few years.

Funnily enough N.Technology/JAS did their first test the other day in Valencia where they shared the data gathering from Thommo's driving with the STCC Swedish-Honda team (Thomas Engstrom/Thed Bjork).

Looks like Thommo will be #7 accoring to the pic.http://www.touringcartimes.com/picture.php?id=1873 But I am not really that sure of anything anymore so I am not saying that for deffinite.

Ha ha, I can't believe Lada are entering cars in the WTCC. That is one of the funniest things I have seen for a long time. The old jokes are sure to re-surface but it will be interesting to see how they perform. I know Chevrolet are only basically re-badged Daewoo's, and Skoda have always had good performance and success in rallying, but Lada.....
