Probably not. He said something like he wouldn't consider anything but a works drive.

Indeed it does. The white doesn't seem so bright and the grey doesn't seem so dark. Much better.

And a German one.

I know racing series just go where the money is these days, but it's pretty poor that a world championship only visits one of the five big European countries (Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy). I bet one of those TBA's becomes a middle-eastern round.

I was actually thinking the same thing, but then if you have a German round you should have a French and Spanish one (as you mentioned).

The thing is that the series seems to be heading very eastern europe and moving away from the traditional venues. I hope the strategy is worth it, considering the majority of the drivers in the series are British, French, Italian and German.

At least they're still going to macau, good to see usa has a round again, tho I'm not sure how successful sonoma was last year, maybe supporting any indycar street round would be better exposure?

Why? There's no British manufacturers left in the series now. I think more European rounds would be good but i don't see why Britain beats German or Spain

Thanks for twisting my words.

As far as I can tell I never said Britain beats Germany or Spain. Britain may not have a manufacturer (and I don't remember the last time a British manufacturer was represented in WTCC, probably the 80's), however a few of the teams are British, as are a good number of the drivers, as is the current World Champion, as is a very proportion of the industry that supplies WTCC... If you going to try and criticize my comment at least have something credible to back that up with.
