Lada in WTCC

Next weekend, May 17th & 18th, the third WTCC event will be held at Valencia (Spain). Two Lada 110 2.0 are expected to make their first appearance there. The cars are prepared and run by "Russian Bears Motorsport", a russian private team which has already participated in two races of 2007 WTCC with three BMW 320 E46.

The two drivers are the russian Victor Shapovalov (No 28) and the dutchman Jaap van Lagen (No 29).

The car has already been tested at Zandvoort (the Netherlands) and in the official WTCC test session at Oschersleben (Germany) and the results are encouraging by now.
