Reigning WTCC world champion Andy Priaulx took victory in Race 2 at Magny-Cours on Sunday, taking the chequered flag from first on the grid ahead of Jörg Muller and Jordi Gene to move to the head of the leaderboard.

Andy Priaulx dominated the whole of Race 2 driving his BMW Team UK 320si from pole to the chequered flag ahead of the rest. Jörg Müller achieved 2nd place for the second time of the day moving his way up from 7th on the grid. SEAT once again finished in the top three but this time it was the Spaniard Jordi Gené who lifted the trophy.

The first corner was a catalyst of action with a few drivers retiring as a result. Dirk Müller and Rickard Rydell were the first to suffer after another SEAT hit Rydell who then collided with Dirk. Pierre-Yves Corthals also suffered impact and almost rolled his JAS Motorsport Honda Accord. In a separate series of events, Luca Rangoni hit Marcel Costa at the Adelaide hairpin; as a result the Spaniard hit his team-mate Alessandro Zanardi and both crashed into the barriers.




SEAT's James Thompson began the race from the front row but his team-mate, Gené, demoted him to 3rd on lap 4. Thompson then had to defend hard to keep Jörg at bay but BMW Germany man snuck through at the Grande Courbe on lap 5. Tension was still to come for SEAT because Terting overtook the Chevrolet of Huff on lap 7 and then chased team-mate Yvan Muller before passing him at Lycée two laps later to finish 6th.

Meanwhile, the Chevrolet drivers where in the thick of the action. Huff was challenging the SEATs and led his team-mates until the penultimate lap in which Larini moved to 8th place leaving Huff to finish in the spot behind.

Despite moving from 21st to 7th in the first lap, Augusto Farfus was overtaken by Yvan Muller and Huff on the second lap. As the race ensued, the Alfa Romeo man dropped back to 12th.

Stefano D'Aste had a successful race and was among the works drivers in 5th position overall after the first lap. He eventually finished 10th overall and won the independents race with Roberto Colciago behind him in 11th.
