So Muller is on the receiving end of some Muller-like driving and he goes on to moan that that Muller-like driving is unacceptable. My head just exploded.

How many times do we have to see stupid first lap crashes in this series? The driving standards have been appalling at times.

That safety car for gravel on the circuit was completely unnecessary, everybody had already been through it once and cleared a line, everyone knew it was there and it was at the slowest corner on the circuit. Health & safety and all that shite, I suppose.

Something else that has always bugged me is the way they deal with the national anthems on the podium. It's like they only realise to turn the volume up about a second or so after they start playing and they just get seem to get bored half way through and stop them again. Honestly, I find that a bit disrespectful. And WHY do they play the same anthem twice if the winning driver and manufacturer are the same nationality? Totally nonsensical.

As for the TV coverage, it's bad enough that race 2 was delayed until 9pm, but why show the viewers who won the race during an ad break BEFORE the race coverage has even finished? In who's mind is that a good idea? That's not the first time Eurosport have fucked up like that, either. Last year they showed their Motorsports Weekend recap show, featuring the Porsche Supercup race from Silverstone, directly before their delayed coverage of said race. Now, since I recorded that race at the time, I saw the back end of the previous programme and spoilt the result for myself. What is the point?

The very odd thing with the WTCC is that it is contested by pofessional teams and (mostly) professional drivers, but it's run like a club series. But I suppose anything that's co-organised by the FIA and Eurosport is always going to be a bit shit.

I agree with everything Pimmy said, especially the Alan Gow-esque safety car :p

However I really enjoyed those races.
Mainly because of the track, however, I think anything racing there could put on a damn good show.

I know it's artificial but dammit, having the Citroens behind slower cars in race two and getting a great slipstream and blasting past was cool as hell to watch.
And there was some great side by side stuff lower down the field too.

Anyone know when Eurosport are showing the supporting ETCC race?
They've been showing up the big boys this year so expecting their races to be even better :)

This would be awful.

Just as WTCC had a good weekend it's back to fucking everything up.

Why can't they just move the round to a halfway decent American road course like Elkhart Lake?
