Triple and double wins for Cruzes in Brazil

Another WTCC weekend turned into a triumph for Chevrolet, as Yvan Muller and Rob Huff shared victories at Curitiba in Brazil.

Yvan Muller, Alain Menu and Rob Huff (pictured) signed off the sixth triple win of the year in Race 1, while Huff and Menu made it a 1-2 in Race 2, with Muller finishing 4th.


This means that 13 races out of the 16 held so far have been won by the blue Cruze cars.

Gabriele Tarquini had tjavascript:void(0)o settle in fourth position after he tried in vain to disrupt the Chevrolet trio at the start. The Italian ace was close to performing a miracle in the second race, leading for a few laps, but eventually he had to surrender, losing also second place to Menu. But at least he claimed a well deserved third position ahead of Muller.


This means that 13 races out of the 16 held so far have been won by the blue Cruze cars.

Chevrolet leads the Manufacturers' Championship by 243 points, just one step away from a third consecutive world title, while behind them BMW and SEAT are split by five points only. The Drivers' crown has been thrown wide open with a mere 27 points separating the three Chevvy drivers.

The championship now takes a long summer break, while cars and parts are being shipped to the USA where Rounds 17 and 18 will take place at Sonoma in California on September 23 - the first ever series race in the United States.
