Race Ready: Chevrolet Drops New Pictures of 2009 WTCC Chevy Cruze Race Car
Posted November 24 2008 03:27 PM by Scott Evans
Shortly after the all-new Chevrolet Cruze broke cover at the 2008 Paris Motor Show last month, Chevrolet unveiled plans to race it in the World Touring Car Championship. Though the 2009 season doesn't start for several months, the team has been hard at work prepping the car and today released pictures of the new paint job, which is a bit more subdued that in previous photos (bottom two pictures).
While the car is new for the 2009 season, Chevrolet is sticking with its 2008 team. That includes RML Motorsport, the English company that prepared Chevy's outgoing WTCC car, a Lacetti. Also staying over from last season are the drivers, Englishman Rob Huff, Italian Nicola Larini and Swiss racer Alain Menu. Huff finished third in points last season and Chevrolet took home third place in the Manufacturer's Championship.
