BMW claimed a dominant 1-2-3 in Race 2 at Valencia. Jörg Müller was the victor for BMW Team Germany followed by Duncan Huisman from BMW Team Italy –Spain and independent driver Luca Rangoni.

Rangoni is the first independent competitor in WTCC history to finish in the top 3 in both races of an event.

Despite starting from pole, Alain Menu had been passed by Huisman and Jörg by the first corner.

The man from Chevrolet eventually finished 9th after some tough battles. His team-mate, Nicola Larini, faired better and passed the chequered flag 4th.


Due to an incident with Larini, Peter Terting, who began from 4th, was issued a drive through penalty which he adhered to on lap 3. The best of the SEAT Sport drivers was Yvan Muller who finished 6th overall after mounting an attack on Menu on the last lap.

After Yvan passed Menu, Dirk Müller and Andy Priaulx also squeezed through. Priaulx, who was involved in an incident in Race 1, began Race 2 from the back of the grid but spectacularly fought his way through for a valuable single championship point.

On lap 8 Zanardi, Gené and Thompson were side by side entering a corner. Gené appeared to be successful in getting through but soon after had to retire.

Zanardi did not profit either and dropped to 17th. Thompson also suffered badly from the action and crossed the line 12th.

The only person to gain was Priaulx who was left 10th which he had then turned into 8th by the last lap.

Augusto Farfus crossed the line 5th which was the best result for the N.technology Alfa Romeo team and propelled him into the Championship lead.
