This week, from Monday to Wednesday, the BMW of the WTCC official teams have been test on circuit. ROAL Motorsport and Liqui Moly Team Engstler teams moved to the Italian circuit to be about to face the first test of the contest, from 18 to 20 March in Curitiba.
Aside of mentioned equipment pilots saw Augusto Farfus rolling by circuit in tests of the new engine turbo 1.6 litre BMW developed for the teams of the WTCC. Nothing less than 143 laps without a single technical problem. Eye. These are almost 600 kilometers of fleece. Looks good BMW project for this year.

The first day some technical problems fixed quickly arose and could continue with the test without major incidents. They are statements of Poulsen:
car is hilarious driving and engine turbo have a lot of power. I think it will be very well...
Engstler adds:
I like the car. [...] It is important to change the driving style compared to the BMW 320si of last year. That required much softness while the 320TC needs a much more aggressive conduccicon
ROAL Motorsport team was on Tuesday and Wednesday in the circuit with Tom Coronel BMW 320 TC officials, who also had a small electrical problems at the beginning. The director of the team, Roberto Ravaglia speaks:
We are very happy with the test, which is the first with the new car and the new pilot. Why our priority has been to establish a good understanding between Tom and the team. 320 CT is more complicated than 320si], especially in terms of engine and management.I think that Colonel is the best option we have been able to do. I know him from his first Touring career, 1991 or 1992, when BMW M3 in Pergusa we share. I like because it is a professional and a pilot very fast but at the same time is capable of adapting to the computer, rather than ask the team fits your desires
It is less, almost all competitions starting in a month, and desire among other things, see how are these with BMW 320 CT because we draw comments from pilots and team leaders are going to be some interesting bugs we already have.
