Anyone watch this? The crowd were superb. You can't tell me people power doesn't exist!

Was it me or were the main grandstands far more packed than any f1 race?

I'm watching it on Eurosport2 UK at the moment - massive crowd, good to see.

Think I heard that there were 50,000+ spectators. Fantastic to see. And the crowd's reaction to the winner was incredible!!

I watched it.

Almost fell asleep - so boring. These slow tin-tops should be zipping around smaller tracks imho.

Are you sure you watched the same race?

It was fantastic to see a crowd support their driver like that in a saloon car race.

The battles down the grid were pretty good lots of very close racing and no banger racing tactics like you'd see from Plato and Neal in the UK series.

Indeed. The WTCC races have been a lot better this year, and the stewards are actually cracking down on drivers punting one another off - eg. Yvan's drive-thru in Slovakia.

I'm pretty certain I used to race against norbi. Certainly in the game Live For Speed there was a very fast hungarian driver with that name who seems to roughly match norberts age.

If you go to lfsworld.net website, click on the online racer stats icon and put in norbi as the username in the top right field.... is that him?
