Looking good for Seat in the WTCC.

Currently watching the FIA GT Open race from Magny Cours. There is a Seat entry - not doing to well but looks very cool.
Will go googling for some more details.

The BMWs look to be quick in the warmup, and Tarquini only did 3 laps, 17th fastest. Hopefully no problems, rather that they're happy with the set-up:confused:

Lets hope there isnt any problems, I expect Yvan and Thommo to go well in race 2.

Tom Coronel should be one to watch too, going off how hard he was trying yesterday :D

That's standard procedure for Coronel at Magny-Cours:

The BMWs will be quick off the line, though, if they get in front they will be difficult to pass with those lap times. Hopefully Tarquini & Rydell can block to the first corner.

Probably the same chicane last year, we managed to get him to autograph it at Silverstone, he was proud of that shot!

I think he was having trouble with the vertical take-off system! :D
