Bmw Seeks Further Brno Winning
The BMW national teams have no time to party and have some fun as the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) resumes next weekend. The team aims further winning in the championship move into its ninth and tenth rounds in Brno in the Czech Republic.
The “Automotodrom Brno", the place where the race track lies, is majestically set into the open rural area of Southern Moravia. It stands in severe contrast to the small city circuit of Pau (FRA), where the previous two rounds of the WTCC took place. And the BMW racers are looking forward to the circuit that assures of several opportunities for overtaking.
The tack has a length of 5.403 kilometers and includes numbers of climbs which will combine the effects of any marginal weight in the car that is far more strongly than a flatter circuit would. Therefore, the audience should expect a tight rivalry between the teams particularly with World Championship leader Andy Priaulx (GBR) of BMW Team UK and with Augusto Farfus (BRA) of BMW Team Germany.
The two racers, after their successful performances and victory in France, will be first to transport the maximum ballast load of 60 kilos. Winning one of the two races in Brno last year, Farfus' team-mate Jorg Muller (GER) will be taking an additional 45 kilograms on board with his BMW 320si WTCC.
Meanwhile, BMW Team Italy-Spain’s Felix Porteiro (ESP) scored four championship points in Pau. Having this driver in the team, they prospect to acquire another good result in Brno. Another confidence giver to the team is Alessandro Zanardi (ITA) who already gave a clear proof of his ability to handle the circuit after he finished second in the first round at the "Automotodrom Brno" in the 2006 event.
Andy Priaulx of BMW Team UK said that he had a wonderful weekend in Pau for it was fun and great for the team to once again lead the Championship. He wants to have his first win of the year in the next weekend, but he is preparing more for the Championship. He knows that for their team to lead, they will need 60 kilos of success ballast. But this is not ideal for the track. Nonetheless, he was sure that his RBM will once again cooperate with him and yield another fantastic performance. He added that Brno is a beautiful track and steep hills are surrounding it. He also commented that the track feels like a rollercoaster and that it is a bit like a mini-Spa.
BMW Team Germany’s Augusto Farfus rolled over in qualifying, so winning the Pau, according to him, was a dream. He humbly said that he only contributed a percent to the entire achievement of the team. He said their success was largely due to the efforts of his teammates. He views the weekend in Brno as quite less challenging but he targets to still get more points. He added that he likes the track in Brno but he still needs to familiarize it with his BMW 320si WTCC.
Brno is not Jorg Muller’s (BMW Team Germany) favorite track but he admits it is one of the most stunning stops in the WTCC because it has many thrilling sections which are challenging to drive. According to him, the surface is very even so drivers go into the event with a car set-up that is firmer than the usual.
All the leading racers are looking forward to the Brno circuit and they are excited to feel the challenge.
The BMW race teams are part of the German auto and motorcycle company BMW.
