The Clash of the Matadors
 On May 17th, a date highlighted in many agenda,
the moment was finally there: the first of five onsite V-WTCC Semi-Finals took place. In the RaceRoom™ Game Park, stationed in the paddock
of the circuit of Valencia in Spain, the qualified drivers went head-to-head in a stunningly close competition.
The tension grew as more spectators joined to watch the action and as Eurosport stalked the drivers with a
camera to tape their every move. Then, when the races started, no voices could be heard. Only the sounds of
roaring engines filled the Game Park as the ‘matadors’ engaged in a battle that was a pleasure for the eye and ear.
When the smoke had disappeared three smiling faces were to be seen. BMW’s David Greco and Seat’s Sven Eckhardt and
Tomislav Vladovic had managed to reach the podium and had thereby won the prizes, amongst which was a ticket to the Grand
Finale of V-WTCC held in Monza, Italy, in October.
The winner, David Greco, received the main event prize: a set of Yokohama tires, as well as the top 3 prizes:
a WTCC 2007 chronicle book, Monroe-branded clothing and a SimBin game collection pack.
Three new virtual stars have emerged from the surface. Who will be next…?
