Third 2007 Win For Menu, Huff Second, Larini Third; Menu Again On Podium In Race 2
Chevrolet continued its dominance in the streets of Porto by scoring a historic triple victory in the first of today’s races. Alain Menu, Rob Huff and Nicola Larini finished the incident-packed race in the order they had started in, letting none of their competitors even have a look at the podium. It was the first time since the beginning of Chevrolet WTCC programme in 2005 that three Lacettis locked out the podium. For Alain Menu, it was his third 2007 win, the first driver to achieve this level of success this year. Rob Huff scored his first podium finish of the year and set fastest race lap in race 1, but a misjudgment and dirty tyres from driving off line left him without points in race 2. Menu again finished on the podium in race 2, after Larini crashed under braking while in third. Menu now ties with Larini for fifth in the championship, but takes the position courtesy of his three victories.
