WTCC season kick off at Curitiba. On Dec 12 2009 the SHU crew kicked off the long awaited WTCC season with a visit to Curitiba. Things got off to a flying start with an aerial acrobatic display by Bender and Surge (show offs) on the first lap before settling down into twenty laps of serious racing. With tyres worn away to nothing in the final laps, it was a challenge just to keep the cars on the track. Drawing on experience gained from the mini rain season proved valuable in keeping the racing line with reduced traction. A great start to an exciting WTCC championship!
