The second and third events of the
series offered some exciting battles,
with SEAT, Honda, Volkswagen and
Opel facing each other on equal
footing.
Touring Car specialists like Vincent
Radermecker and Pierre-Yve Corthals
faced a bunch of young lions, while
the addition of guest stars like Tiago
Monteiro, Norbert Michelisz, Jeffrey
van Hooydonk and Matt Neal made the
championship even spicier.
In this competitive environment, DG
Sport Compétition is making a brilliant
job in developing the Opel Astra that,
eventually, claimed its first victories at
Zolder. This enabled Corthals and his
co-driver Frédéric Caprasse to move up
to second place in the standings, 54.5
points behind Stéphane Lémeret in the
Boutsen Ginion Racing Honda Civic.
It is remarkable that the first four
teams classified in the standings are in
four different cars. The season has just
reached its halfway point and with
three race meetings to go, anything
can happen.
