It was a perfect start for the BMW national teams in Curitiba: Two triple victories in the first two races of the 2007 Touring Car World Championship gave BMW a clear lead in the manufacturer’s classification. Read about the drivers’ reactions. Augusto Farfus (BMW Team Germany): ”My goal was to score points during my first race appearance with BMW. I achieved just that in race one with the podium finish. But now I’m standing here as the winner of the second race. That is unbelievable. We did a lot of testing over the winter. But what you can’t simulate is a proper race situation. Therefore, it was important for me to get to know the car in race conditions. I keep on learning more about the car. The enthusiastic support of the Brazilian fans really gave me a push. You don’t see a La Ola wave before the start of a WTCC race too often. This was a great start for us.“ Jörg Müller (BMW Team Germany): ”Last year I struggled a bit at the beginning of the season and lost many points in the fight for the title. This time I managed to do better. Over the course of the opening laps in race one I was able to build up a gap on Andy. Towards the end, however, he came closer and closer and put me under pressure. That’s why I was really happy when I crossed the line as winner. This is a fantastic result for BMW Team Germany. In the second race I was in the middle of another great and fair fight with Andy. For him, Augusto and me the season will start again in Zandvoort, as we are all on 16 points.” Andy Priaulx (BMW Team UK): ”At the beginning of race one my car was not as fast as Jörg’s. But then I was able to gain ground, and we had an interesting fight. In the second race it was just the same. I’m satisfied with this result, as we suffered some problems over the course of the weekend. I really got the most out of my car during the races. Competition in the 2007 season will be extremely fierce. I’m ready to take the challenge.“ [ BMW.Motorsport.com ] |

Well the first race is always the fairest as no penalty ballast has been added... the next round in May will see the Alfa's, Chevy's and Seat's all having a slight advantage... However I expect BMW to grab some more podiums even then...
