The new world champion will be man in a Citroen C-Elysée WTCC

A long and action-packed day began with qualifying. The sun was shining, but the track was still cold and slippery.

In Q1, Ma Qing Hua’s programme was disrupted when the red flag was brought out, and the Chinese driver could only manage 14th place.

José María López and Yvan Muller then clocked the best times in Q2, while Sébastien Loeb finished seventh.

The two Citroën drivers who qualified for Q3 claimed the third- and fourth-fastest times with their single flying laps, with Yvan Muller going slightly quicker than José María López.

At the start of the first race, Yvan Muller snatched second spot from an unsuspecting Gabriele Tarquini. José María
López also tried to find a way past the Italian, but Tarquini resisted.

After seven laps behind the safety car, the race got back underway and Chilton blazed away to record a deserved victory. Yvan Muller held on to second place, while José María López moved up to third when Tarquini ran into mechanical trouble.
