SimBin Presents the New Chevrolet HHR, the Grand Prize of V-WTCC
The Virtual World Touring Car Championship is a touring tournament featuring RACE 07 -- The Official WTCC Game.
June 24, 2008 - The Chevrolet HHR, the Grand Prize of V-WTCC showed its dark orange V-WTCC branded skin to the crowd for the first time at the second semi final of V-WTCC held at Brno in the Czech Republic. As part of Chevrolet's efforts for the environment, the HHR will be equipped with an LPG installation and the winner will receive a EUR500 LPG voucher.
"It is a whole new experience for Chevrolet as we are involved in this kind of project for the first time ever. It looks promising and we are looking forward to see how it develops" said Eric Nève, Manager Motorsport, Chevrolet Europe.
The Chevrolet HHR was doing more than just collecting sunbeams at the V-WTCC Game Park; it was leading the FIA WTCC field as the Official WTCC Leading Car and showed off at the official track podium afterwards.
On June 14th the second V-WTCC Semi-Final was held on the circuit of Brno. In a series of races Nils Naujoks, Danny Engels and Daniel Struck claimed the tickets to the season's V-WTCC Grand Finale at the historical track of Monza in Italy run parallel to FIA WTCC. These drivers join the previously qualified David Greco, Sven Eckhardt and Tomislav Vladovic in this long anticipated final event of the season.
Six spots have been claimed for the final showdown at Monza and ten more spots remain to be claimed in the battle for the Grand Prize. Brands Hatch is coming up next at the end of July.
