The World Touring World Cup (WTCR) weekend will be memorable for a long time to come, before the free practice, as Hyundai announced Thursday morning that all four of its cars will be relegated to the lack of equal treatment, the brand's unfair power ballast distribution and uniform control. citing inconsistencies in regulation.
Thus, among others, Norbert Michelisz missed the Green Hell, while Attila Tassi gave a promising performance from the first minute. Both free trainings were led by the Hungarian rider of Münnich Motorsport, he qualified for the third place in the time trial, while his pole position was won by his teammate Néstor Girolami, and between them the leader of the championship, Lynk & Có's Yann Ehrlacher.
After so many penalties, Yvan Muller could start the lead on Friday’s reverse grid race, but the victory with a very tough overtaking eventually came to Esteban Guerrieri. Attila Tassi clashed with Cyan Racing rookie Santiago Urrutia in the middle of the second lap, resulting in a more serious snap and a thoroughly damaged Honda. The 21-year-old driver was able to hammer his car into the Münnich Motorsport spot for Sunday’s race.
Girolami was able to keep the lead in Saturday’s race until the end of the first lap, with Ehrlacher pulling away with ease playing at Döttinger Höhe, who then easily won his second win this year, with Thed Björk securing the double success for Cyan. Girolami finished third, but was penalized (for making more laps than allowed on the grid), so he was only ranked 11th.
