"The second race was fantastic," says James Thompson. "I was disappointed with the first one but I knew the car was good and I wanted to benefit from the reverse grid for the second. Finishing 7th in the first race was not necessarily a bad thing. I planned to concentrate hard and get a good start which I did. It was very important that I passed Rydell early on and got a bit of a gap but it didn't go quite according to plan as Dirk was behind me for most of the race. I think it was a fantastic show and I'm sure everyone will agree that we could not have asked for a better start to the new WTCC!"
The second round of the WTCC takes place in France at the Magny-Cours track on 1 May 2005.
