A ‘Smoking Sunday’ at Valencia

The first ‘Smoking Sunday’ is over. The Valencia Brand Cup Races have finished and the Semi-Finalists are finally revealed.

The best 80 drivers spread over the four brands were invited to compete in the final online stage of the competition for the Valencia Semi-Finals: The Brand Cup Races. The pressure grew as the event neared and amongst the invited driver some dared not enter the track to face their competition. The majority showed up nonetheless and met their challenge on the tarmac. It was to become a stunningly close competition.

Armed with skill and the will to win, the drivers engaged in close combat. And close it was! Reputations did not suffice to grab victory that day in V-WTCC. In The BMW Cup, which featured a roster with renowned names, an underdog drove away with the win and in none of the Cups the winner of the one race managed to win other. The Cups of the front wheel driven cars often featured door-to-door racing and no effort were spared to score more points. It even got a little dirty sometimes, but the races were generally of a high level and featured clean racing.

Our compliments to all drivers for delivering a quality job on track and congratulations to the sixteen Semi-Finalists who really had to go on the edge to make it.

Stay tuned for more footage of the Valencia Brand Cup Races!
