Not that interested in the wtcc, only 4 different cars which imho looks silly with such large spliters, bumpers and wings. Qualifying system sounds overly complicated and Marrakech is a st track for the opening rd.

Fair play to loeb he's quick in anything which shows how good a driver he is. Should be a good battle between him and muller.

I bet if somebody said that about the BTCC in a BTCC thread you'd be up in arms about it.....

So what if there's "only" four models of car, they've done well to get 16 of them built between them. Variety isn't the key to everything you know, I've always liked the V8 Supercars, despite them "only" having two models of car until recently.

Wasted an hour of my life watching that! Cars that can't follow each other, awful awful track (they race there but don't come to Britain?!) and virtually no actual racing.

They'll need to sort the French anthem out. I have a feeling they'll be needing it a lot.

Another 23 times, at a guess...I would assume the most interesting thing about this season will be how Citroen stage manage who wins the championship.

Unbelievable. That 'race' was an absolute joke for the season opener.

I hate to be so negative, but a club event at Castle Combe is by some margin better organised than this!

At least he defended the aggressor. I mean what are you meant to do between 2 walls with the car behind pushing you up the arse. No place to go but into the wall as the carnage enfolds.

Are the Honda bumpers held on with double sided tape?
