Valencia is located in the heart of Spain and rivals the track in Barcelona as the premier Spanish venue for motorsports. The layout has a great flow and rythm, drivers say the corner combinations "feel" natural and logical. It also has lots of overtaking opportunities and several corners where alternative lines can be taken.

To do a fast lap at Valencia you need to nail the last and very challenging turn perfectly. It is a blind downhill negative camber braking zone, where you need to trust your instincts. The exit from that last corner is the key element at Valencia, get it right and you will carry speed all the way down the straight, get it wrong and you will compromise both your current lap and the next one.

The track is fun to drive and the WTCC cars always put up a great spectacle here.

Luca RAGONI – Proteam Motorsport | 2nd in Race 1, 3rd in Race 2

“In all honesty I expected to do well because the car felt great straight away. We were competitive from free practice 1 and my car seemed to improve as the weekend went on. I dedicate these results to my team and also want to thank Menu for being so fair during our fights in both races.”

Augusto FARFUS – N.technology | 1st in Race 1, 5th in Race 2

“I am extremely happy with this weekend and to be in the lead of the
championship. I had understeer in both races but I did my job so I am content. I drove as cleanly and smoothly as possible in the two races because I was conscious of my tyres. It was not really enough though because the last to laps were tough to drive.”

Jörg MÜLLER – BMW Team Germany | 6th in Race 1, 1st in Race 2

“Did I expect to be in this position now? After yesterday’s qualifying probably yes because my car felt good despite the weight. At the beginning of the season wewere struggling with the weight whereas Andy’s (Priaulx) car was fine with it from the beginning. Now we have worked hard and the car feels good with weight.”

Andy PRIAULX – BMW Team UK | DNF in Race 1, 8th in Race 2

“Regarding the incident in Race 1, I thought that I had passed Tarquini and turned into the corner. He didn’t want to go onto the grass and I don’t blame him. [...] I’m on a huge high at the moment from the 2nd race. I was driving my heart out. I scored one point which I think could be a very important one and I don’t have too much weight going into Macau. I feel really positive going into Macau now, I feel ‘racey’!”

Dirk MÜLLER – BMW Team Germany | 11th in Race 1, 7th in Race 2

“Starting from 22nd was a nightmare. I managed to finish 11th in Race 1 because I got a brilliant lap and managed to pass everybody. I have to say that I didn’t like the racing that happened. There was lots of pushing and the back of my car is covered with marks. In Race 2 I couldn’t shift properly into 5th from lap 2 onwards and that
meant it was difficult to compete.”
