    WTCC Thread

    I started watching WTCC between F1 races, and was wondering what the hell I was seeing in the mix of BMW 320si cars and Leon TDI and the Chevy Cruz ... Looked boxy, but not an E30... it was a Russian LADA 110!!! OMG





    Some specs



    The WTCC Lada Sport 110 2.0 is a fresh effort from ... Lada. Having been run as a privateer entry for the some 2007 and 2008, Lada has entered the WTCC as a full works team. The 110 will only be raced in the 2009 season until Brno where the restyled 110, the Priora, will take over. As the results go, the Lada Sport is a terrible race car. Having achieved nothing significant so far and usually making up the backmarkers, it can be said that no one will particularly miss this car. Here's hoping the Priora at least moves them up closer to the midfield where the SEATs and BMWs of the privateer team call it their own domain.

      funny you mentioned WTCC, I just watched a piece on it on Speed yesterday.
      Very entertaining as usual, but I was shocked to see some old names like Tarquini, Menu and others still racing. I pretty much stopped watching it when they changed the formula from the BTCC to WTCC in the late 90s with all the other changes to the cars, old Volvo estates, Nissans, Alfas, Renaults and BMWs were fun.
      I haven't seen this Lada yet, but it must be exciting for the struggling Russian automaker to be recognized on the world circuits...

      BTW - Vladimir Putin was just give new Lada 4x4 (30 year old design still in production)



      and this pretty much shows the quality of russian cars -




      in mother Russia, world leaders chauffeur you!
