[QUOTE="OSFlanker, post: 197612, member: 12"] Race 01 - Curitiba, Brazil From [URL="http://www.fiawtcc.com"]www.fiawtcc.com[/URL] : [B]BMW CLAIM 1-2-3[/B] [I][SIZE=3]Jörg Müller turned his pole into a win in the first race of the season.[/SIZE][/I] After the rolling start Andy Priaulx promoted himself above Augusto Farfus and the top three remained the same. The first corner proved catastrophic for Alfa Romeo as both drivers - James Thompson and Olivier Tielemans - were caught up in a collision also claiming Nicola Larini, Alain Menu and Luca Rangoni as casualties. The only car involved that continued was Pierre-Yves Corthals', which went on to win the independent category. Due to this incident the safety car was deployed for three laps and the Stewards summoned Larini and Yvan Muller to investigate on the happening. On the restart Müller got a clean break. Farfus came close to Priaulx at several moments but was never able to mount a challenge. Behind the leading pack Gabriele Tarquini crossed the line fourth for SEAT Sport followed by Rob Huff; the only Chevrolet left in the race. Tom Coronel was on the tail of the Briton but eventually crossed the line seventh. The front row for the standing start of Race 2 will be compiled of Yvan Muller on pole and Alex Zanardi right beside. Felix Porteiro was set to line up in front of the pack as he was lying eighth for the majority of the race. However an error at Curva da Vitória on lap 12 left him out of the race and in the gravel. In a similar incident, Emmet O'Brien, who was leading the independent category left braking too late at Pinheirinho and rejoined 13th which equated to third independent behind Corthals and Stefano D'Aste. 1 [SIZE=2]Jörg Müller[/SIZE] [B] 00:25:38.208[/B] 138.36 km/h 2Andy PRIAULX (BMW 320si ) [B]00:25:38.629[/B] + 0.421 3Augusto FARFUS (BMW 320si ) [B]00:25:39.442[/B] + 1.234 4Gabriele TARQUINI (SEAT Leon ) [B]00:25:47.084[/B] + 8.876 5Robert HUFF (Chevrolet Lacetti ) [B]00:25:47.909[/B] + 9.701 6Tom CORONEL (SEAT Leon ) [B]00:25:48.532[/B] + 10.324 7Alessandro ZANARDI (BMW 320si ) [B]00:25:49.216[/B] + 11.008 8Yvan MULLER (SEAT Leon ) [B]00:25:51.488[/B] + 13.280 9Jordi GENE (SEAT Leon ) [B]00:25:51.757[/B] + 13.549 10 Pierre-Yves CORTHALS (SEAT Leon ) [B]00:26:01.959[/B] + 23.751 [/QUOTE]
