Cruzes Fastest in WTCC Testing on the Streets of Porto

Huff, Menu and Muller happy with their working session and changes to the track

The Chevrolet Cruzes of RML navigated their way through the streets of Porto, as Rob Huff, Alain Menu and Yvan Muller posted the three fastest lap times in yesterday's testing session on the Boavista urban track which hosts the WTCC's Portuguese round every other year.

Despite this being the first time they raced with a turbo engine on the modified Lusitanian track, the Cruzes proved extremely competitive and are in a position to further enrich Chevrolet's tradition of success on street circuits. Tomorrow, the Cruzes will attempt to qualify at the front of the grid to place themselves in an ideal position for Sunday's races.

In the meantime, the Cruze has taken its inaugural win in the TC2000, the Argentinean touring car championship and the most competitive series in South America. Last weekend, Agustín Canapino won the race in Córdoba, with Christian Ledesma third, in what was only the fourth outing with the new Cruze for the Chevrolet TC2000 team.
