WTCC Weekend

[dodgyken]

I have just had the most fantastic weekend courtsey of Fredy Barth and Exagon racing.

I got to meet some friendly people (Alain Menu, Rob Huff), hang out in the Pit Lane with the Monroe-Exagon team and also walk the grid for both WTCC and EUROCUP races.

There are 900 photos from the weekend - and below are some of those from the Sunday

Great shots! :cool: :cool:

Are the SEATS running FWD?

[dodgyken]

Yep - both WTCC and Eurocup - the latter at 300PS on 265 width slicks :eek:

[peppernick]

Any noticable difference in lap times compared to the RWD cars? I would have thought which wheels were driven is an important determinant of which class the cars run in.

[dodgyken]

WTCC is "balanced" using penalty weights and reversed grids.

Ballast for Diesel
Ballast for RWD
Ballast for success

Keeps the racing reasonably balanced - although the diesels pull out of corners very well. The EUROCUP costs about 50% of an independent WTCC season - and their laptimes are on par with WTCC cars.
