Jose Maria Lopez expects "lively" races in Argentina

José María López says there will be plenty of overtaking when the FIA World Touring Car Championship stops off in his native Argentina later this week.

Citroën’s two-time WTCC champion reckons the layout of the Termas de Río Hondo track promotes passing moves aplenty. And he’s highlighted Turns 5 and 13 as providing good opportunities to make up places.

“It’s perfectly suited to the WTCC,” said López. “It’s a circuit where you can find your lines. It’s very wide, there are multiple overtaking opportunities and the races should be lively. Braking deep into Turn 5 and Turn 13 are both good places for overtaking.”

López is a four-time winner of WTCC Race of Argentina.
