Weitracon, DHL and the hardworking, local Chinese staff, ensured that the containers were loaded up and cleared from the paddock within 24 hours of the last race finishing. The WTCC teams are getting very good at packing all their cars and equipment into the containers. We have so many fly away races and most of the teams have had quite a few years experience using the containers that it is not such a difficult task anymore. But it is still a sweaty job in the heat and humidity of Macau.
Many of us will be looking forward to a well deserved break towards the end of the year but there is also a lot of work for the teams who are building new cars for next season. I will be continuing with this blog so keep checking back here to look for new stories and information.
