Last comment on WTCC Moscow from the Russians.

M9 Highway, Russia.
 Just a last update concerning the journey back. Here is a quote from a Russian about his own countries race.

"We were first to arrive into Russia and we are the last WTCC trucks to leave. Moscow Raceway is a very nice circuit. But everything around disappoints. I hope no Russia in 2014 calendar. Why customs procedure takes 30 minutes for 2 trucks in Latvia and 9 hours in Russia?? Life is too short to waste time on the customs!"

These pictures show the last of the race trucks to leave Moscow. They were accompanied by 7 of the trucks who carry all of the hospitality equipment. One of the trucks has had big problems as you can see. And all caused by the poor condition of the roads. It has been an expensive race for all of the teams and the support crews. I know that I speak for all of us when I say that we are glad to be home. Big thank you to Max for these pictures.
