that was the source my comment is based on... I do not know if there is an English source aswell

Quote from duke_toaster :

There actually wasn't any talk of a deal, it was just that some drivers said "wouldn't it be nice if", it would be impossible as Nurby is too long for WTCC and not all of the track is covered by TV cameras. And, given that it's a FIA World Championship, the circuit licencing requirements are higher. Not forgetting the contract with Ochersleben.

The Nordschleife is not a safe environment to play bumper cars. Similar (or actually far faster) cars can race in relative safety throughout the night because they don't have such appallingly low driving standards.

Funny. Again the same story.

IF THIS IS REAL, I think the only common thing with the production car will be the bodywork, for homologation. The rest will be bought and composed in Europe by European engineers/workers. Yukos and then Russian Age Racing used Porsches and Ferraris. This will also be a European car, just with different bodywork (tho, it must be much more expensive to build it).

I wonder if it really is AvtoVAZ's (Lada manufacturer) project. They have financial problems, are overstocked with it's cars and can't sell out.

Though, I still can't belive it is a true thing. Especially, if they promise a diesel engine.

When i looked at the entry list i saw no ladas


they might have pulled out

They'll only start at Valencia.
