WTCC: Macau to stage title decider, and Chevrolet's farewell

Chevrolet's successful participation in the World Touring Car Championship comes to an end in Macau in a week's time with the Manufacturers' title already wrapped up, but the Driver's title still undecided.

All eyes will be on the U.S. brand's three drivers - Rub Huff, Alain Menu and Yvan Muller - who are the only three contenders for the coveted Drivers' crown.

On paper, Huff is in the strongest position, leading the standings on 390 points, followed by Menuy (355), some 35 points behind and with Muller (349) in third place, 41 points behind the leader. With 55 points on offer, including five awarded for pole position, the race is still open.

Macau, the traditional closing event of the WTCC, is a fast track and has rarely been short on surprises. The circuit is a favourite for Huff who has claimed five of the last eight races.

The 6.117 km urban track of Guia run along the streets of the former Portuguese enclave, known as the world's gambling capital, is one of the fastest and most challenging in racing, comparable to Monte Carlo in Formula 1.

The final races in Macau will also be an emotional moment for chevrolet and the team as this will be the last stop before the end of the U.S. brand's WTCC programme, announced last July. Chevrolet joined the WTCC at its inception eight years ago and has won three Manufacturer's titles and three Drivers' titles, two with Muller and the third to be decided in Macau.
