)According to @TomCoronel on twitter he thought it would become a BMW party at Brno. So far the Chevy's prove him wrong. A 1-2-3 with 10 minutes left.
Is Chevrolet the only factory team that is still developing their racecars?

Turkington most talented driver on the field in my opinion
British drivers won all today in Brno as Rob Huff took his first victory of the season for Chevrolet in Race 1 and Andy Priaulx scored BMW's 50th WTCC win in Race 2.
These results, joint with the bad luck that hit Yvan Muller and Gabriele Tarquini, meant a big leap forward in the championship classification for both, Priaulx and Huff.
In Race 1, Huff claimed a lights-to-flag victory despite a short safety car period interrupting proceedings. He crossed the line ahead of reigning world champion Gabriele Tarquini and his teammate Alain Menu.
In Race 2, BMW Team RBM's Priaulx came from fourth on the grid to take an extra special victory at the place where he scored his first win for BMW back in 2003. Colin Turkington finished second after holding off the charge from Menu, who obtained his second podium finish of the day.
Yvan Muller did not score this weekend and remained on 199 points with Tarquini (who retired in the second race) now just 5 points adrift on 194. Priaulx lies third, only 16 points behind the leader, whil Huff is fourth and reduced his gap to 32.
Darryl O'Young, the young rookie from Hong Kong, dominated the Independents' category taking two wins. He has now closed the gap in the standings to Sergio Hernández who still leads. O'Young and Michel Nykjær shared victories in the Rookie Challenge that is now led by Fredy Barth.
The championship will resume after the summer break for rounds 15 and 16 at Oschersleben, Germany on September 5.

it's good to see evryone in the fight with Chevy,bmw or seat...i go with Tarquini
It's good to see that it's close again! Unfortunately I didn't see the races!
The mess in race 1 was typical again. Its time the FIA/SRO takes some action against this first corner ramming. It's damaging the championship in my opinion.
Good to see Turkington getting good results
BMW has confirmed that if they enter DTM in 2012, either their WTCC or Sportscar programme will be cut.
"Three programmes would be too much. Priorities would have to be set," said BMW Motorsport boss Mario Theissen.
Right now the only confirmed plans of BMW in 2011 is to continue with the M3 in GTs and a new development of a S2000 engine. But Theissen says this development is not for their WTCC factory team. Instead they are doing this for customers to be able to continue racing with BMWs after the new engine rules are applied to WTCC.

to bad.but will love to see bmw in DTM
Such is corporate life. In a perfect world, I'd want BMW to compete in all three. Oh well, I'm looking forward to seeing them in the DTM too... The good old days would almost return...
It will be most likely the factory leaving as BMW motorsports are already developing the new 1.6 engine for customer teams that want to continue to run with the E90
