The final two races of the season and the final two races for Chevrolet as a works team. The overall championship is between the Chevrolet trio, Tarquini and Coronel are fighting for ‘best of the rest’ honours and the Yokohama Trophy is between four drivers. The top five for both championships are as follows, with those in bold in mathematical contention for the title.

DRIVERS’ CHAMPIONSHIP
Huff 390
Menu 355
Muller 349
Tarquini 236
Coronel 196

YOKOHAMA TROPHY
Michelisz 138
Oriola 126
D’Aste 123
MacDowall 95
Engstler 82

So for Huffy it’s looking good, he’ll go into the second race with a ten point lead even if he fails to finish the first race. He’s a Macau expert though having won there five times, to secure the title in the first race he should be aiming for a podium finish, even if Menu wins the race.

For the Yokohama Drivers’, Michelisz is leading but the form has been with D’Aste in the last couple of rounds and he’s closed in on the leader as a result. MacDowall is the outside hope but he must be the independent winner in both races with the others scoring little or no points. It’s not likely but lets not forget what an achievement that is to be going to the last race in contention for the trophy in his first year on the world stage.
