Engstler and Romanov together again

Team principal Franz Engstler and Russian driver Andrei Romanov will be team-mates again in the 2010 FIA WTCC, like two years ago.

The Liqui Moly Team Engstler face their third season in the FIA World Touring Car Championship and again will field two BMW 320si cars, with plans to expand to a third one for Macanese driver Hery Ho during the season.

Engstler has been rejoined by Romanov, who makes a comeback to the team after racing for them in 2008 and spending last year claiming three race victories in the German ADAC Procar series at the wheel of a Chevrolet Lacetti.

"Andrei has always had ambitions, now we can benefit from his 2008 experience and go together as a strong team into the championship," said Franz Engstler who last year finished third in the WTCC Independents’ Trophy and second in the FIA European Touring Car Cup.
