Muller: “I’ll remember this for a long time”

Almost exactly one year ago Yvan Muller was denied his first World Touring Car Championship title in the final race of the year. The WTCC final of this year saw the Frenchman getting revenge.
“Defeats are remembered for a long time and victories are quickly forgotten. However, I think that I’ll remember this day for a long time,” said Muller.

Muller scored 114 points during the season, finishing fifth on average.

“To win the championship you must be a consistent driver, but you must also have a team that will offer you the chance to fight for it,” said Muller.

Muller’s title came as the final crown on SEAT’s dominating year in the WTCC 2008: 1st and 2nd in the drivers championship and a dominating win in the manufacturers championship ahead of BMW.

“I want to say thank you to all my team-mates and the whole SEAT team, because we have always worked close together, collaborating to the maximum and always progressing. This is why we have been able to win”.
