Lada completes development work for 2014 at Magny-Cours

By

Lada Sport Lukoil and driver James Thompson completed further development work of the Granta at Magny-Cours earlier this week.
“After the first half of the season, we have a clear understanding how to improve the car. During the races we tested the car on various types of circuits, now we know all the strengths and weak points of LADA Granta and are able to work out the program of its development,” said Lada Team Manager Victor Shapovalov.

The Lada Granta was fitted with new technical components during the test ahead of the new regulations set for 2014.
“We are already working on the evolution of the LADA Granta in view of the 2014 WTCC season. This car will have a more racing look, more power, more stability and drivability,” continued Shapovalov.

Thompson is the best placed Lada driver in the WTCC this season, currently in 14th position with fifth as best result so far.
