Lada gets more power for Valencia

Lada has got new engines for the FIA World Touring Car Championship race at Valencia this weekend. The engines have been updated and are expected to deliver more power.
“I’m very much looking forward to these races and hopefully we can put some of the bad luck behind us now,” said driver Jaap Van Lagen.

“I’ll be very interested to see how much of an effect the new engine has here, but the main thing is that we are obviously making progress.”

The team has worked hard since the race at Pau to prepare the engines for all three cars.

“We had a very busy couple of weeks after Pau, as there was a lot of work to do in order to repair the cars and test the new engine,” said team boss Viktor Shapovalov.

“Now everything is ready and we can concentrate on doing a good job on what is generally a more conventional circuit than the last two we have visited. The most important thing is to have a clean weekend in order to put us in a strong position to capitalise on any chances that come our way.”
