Japanese racer Yukinori Taniguchi will replace Harry Vaulkhard at bamboo-engineering in the next three WTCC events at Oschersleben this week, Valencia and Okayama. Team principal Richard Coleman commented: “While it’s sad to see Harry go it’s a great opportunity for us to work with Yukinori, his experience at the Okayama circuit will no doubt help us as a team when we get there.”

Chevrolet WTCC drivers Alain Menu and Yvan Muller will take part in the 200 Km of Buenos Aires, a round of the Argentine TC2000 Championship, on November 7th. Muller and Menu will be at the wheel of Chevrolet Vectra cars run by the Chevrolet Elaion team, teaming-up with Guillermo Ortelli and Christian Ledesma respectively.

The BMW Team RBM look forward to this weekend’s event in Oschersleben with a lot of confidence coming from nine victories out of the ten WTCC races held so far at the Motorsport Arena. Team principal Bart Mampaey said: “In Brno Andy was able to reduce the gap in the Drivers' Championship to 16 points. We obviously want to continue this positive trend. Oschersleben has always been a successful stomping ground for BMW, but it will be important to get good starts in both races.”

The FIA WTCC Race of Germany, that will take place in one week time at Oschersleben, was launched yesterday at Magdeburg’s Allee Center, the largest shopping mall of the Sachsen-Anhalt capital city. On Saturdays the centre attracts approximately 35,000 visitors. The actual launch took place at 11.00 am on the first floor of the shopping mall, with Eurosport commentator Uwe Winter asking questions to drivers and other guests.
