The Cruzes take double win in Brno!



There's just no stopping these Chevy guys!

The championship hasn't reached the half of the season, and yet the fight for the WTCC world title seems already limited to a private affair among the three Chevrolet drivers!

The RML Chevrolet Cruzes took home another two wins and achieved five podium finishes out of a possible six in the Czech Republic.

In Race 1, the Cruzes posted a 1-2-3, with Rob Huff taking his third success on the Czech track. He took the lead from Yvan Muller in the early stages and held on to cross the line ahead of the Frenchman and Alain Menu.

In Race 2, Yvan Muller climbed through the field, from 8th on the grid, to take his second win of the season, while Menu and Huff finished 4d and 4th.

Behind the Chevrolet cars, the rest of the field is steadily improving. Tom Coronel fought tooth and nail to claim another podium result for BMW, while Michael Nykjaer and Robert Dahlgren gave Sunred and Volvo their best results so far with the new 1.6 turbo engines.

The WTCC resumes at Porto, Portugal, on July 3rd for rounds 11 and 12. This is the first event on a street circuit, a type of track where the Chevys have always excelled in the past.
