RACE 1 – LIGHTS TO FLAG WIN FOR MULLER

Yvan Muller took another commanding win in the first of the Spa races today.

He beat team mates Loeb and López to the La Source hairpin at the start and never quite looked back. The only change in position at the front came when Lópezoutbraked Loeb at the end of the straight on the final lap.
With three Citroën cars filling the podium, Morbidelli led home the rest of the field ahead of Coronel, who passed works Honda driver Monteiro on the finish line. Franz Engstler, as usual, won the TC2T class from Filippi and newcomer Nagy.

RACE 2 – LÓPEZ RECOVERS TO VICTORY

There was no stopping WTCC points leader José MaríaLópez in the 14th round of this year’s championship.

The Argentine driver used the superior speed of his Citroën C-Elysée to pick off his opponents one by one, usually hunting them down at speed through the back straight and the Blanchimont corners before going for the kill in the braking zone for the Bus Stop chicane.
Only Chevrolet privateer Tom Coronel, who had led from the start, resisted Lopez initially before being demoted anyway on the Raidillon.
Yvan Muller brought his Citroën home in second, while Coronel still salvaged a second podium finish of the season from Tiago Monteiro and Sébastien Loeb.
Franz Engstler scored his 11th win from 13 starts in TC2.
