Farfus: “This win was very important”

By

BMW man Augusto Farfus scored his first victory of the World Touring Car Championship 2009 season at Valencia yesterday. The Brazilian was understandably pleased.
“This victory was very important for us. We made the most of this weekend after a difficult start,” said Farfus.

Farfus could do nothing about the SEAT’s in the first race where he finished fourth behind three Spanish diesel’s.

“Even with a perfect start, it would have been virtually impossible to challenge the leading SEAT’s in the first race,” said Farfus.

The second race was another story as Farfus took command early on.

“Following a good start, I managed to overtake Jörg early on in the second race, and after then it was flawless for me. I want to say thanks to my team and BMW Motorsport, who made this win possible.”
