2012 World Touring Car Championship

[Bram Hengeveld]

Almost no interest for DTM this year

 

[Thilo Falkenberg]

I've just watched the warm-up live on Eurosport 1, lol. Thats a session i would put on the second channel.

Really nice track though. Expect to see a lot of graveltraptraveling here

Qualifying has never been on Eurosport 1, however there was a rerun of it today before the warm-up. That the warm-up is on Eurosport 1 simply has the reason that sunday mornings at these times there is nothing to broadcast. Even coverage of marathons don't start that early. Moreover it can differ quiet heavily nowadays what you see on which Eurosport channel, depending on your location of which only British Eurosport brands itself as a local version. There are also French Eurosport or German Eurosport distributions which differ in their program, amongst others.

Slightly OT: The FIA European TouringCars are covered on Thursday 15:00 UTC on Eurosport 2 in form of a one hour summary of both races.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

True but this year some races have also been hidden on Eurosport 2 because there was an important CURLING match on the other net

 

[Hampus Andersson]

It will be interesting to see if they will break the track record in the race, i think they might.

1.33,576 - Di Resta 2008
1.33.512 - Spengler 2012 BMW Free Practice 2.

 

[Dave Simmons]

Anyone know if the race is streamed online?

 

[Dino Paolini]

This will be awesome!

My prediction for today:
1) Ekström
2) Mortara
3) Spengler

let's see how wrong this will be

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Here is mine:

1) Michael Schumacher Oops
1) Spengler
2) Ekström
3) Farfus

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Anyone know if the race is streamed online?

Not officially no. But its live on the German open net.

If im allowed to post it here... if not feel free to remove it

 

[Victor Ivanov]

Hahahah Ralf is a f*cking idiot hahahah If anyobody have ARD it's live there.

And I hope Paffet will win this one

 

[Ivo Simons]

Hehe. No censorship there indeed.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Ooooh what a move by Paffet!

 

[Ivo Simons]

Stupid racing as usual. Only reason i watch it sometimes is because of Coronel and not because of the great driving in the WTCC.

 

[Xosé Estrada]

Very bad luck for Oriola

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

FAILfus! Completely missed his pitbox lol

 

[Dave Simmons]

Streaming link for the race if you dont have access to a TV etc

This channel streamed DTM earlier too so quite useful

 

[Dino Paolini]

Hm, not a very good racepace from Audi, they really have to work on that for the rest of the season. Atleast Ekström got good points in.
All went wrong for BMW also except for Priaulx.

I'm surprised by the amound of flying bodyparts today also^^ + Schumacher did his family name justice with his careless driving

 

[Robert Wiesenmüller]

Great race from Dudukalo, a bit sorry for Michelisz because he had the pace to win. The track is good! Didn't know it before.

 

[Victor Ivanov]

Very nice race. In the last laps I was hoping Priaulx to make a move on Rockenfeller but I don't know what happened. He was faster than him and suddenly he started to drop a little. Very good drive from Paffet, 4th to 1st

 

[Dave Simmons]

I think Thruxton is actually a tiny bit sunnier then the Slovakia ring
