BALLAST? - 40 KG OF EXTRA WEIGHT FOR CRUZE AND LEÓN »The Chevrolet Cruze and the SEAT León TDI remain the heaviest cars of the field. Like in the previous event at Monza, in Zolder they will again carry the maximum compensation weight of 40 kilos. The compensation weight has been determined by the lap times set in Brazil, Morocco and Italy. According to this calculation, the León TDI emerged as the fastest car, one tenth faster than the Cruze and half-a-second faster than the BMW 320si. The German cars have been imposed 20 extra kilos for Zolder.

24 HOURS OF LeMans
It may seem strange to see a WTCC car on the starting grid at Le Mans before the famous 24 Hours. However here it is, the Chevrolet Cruze alongside the powerful Chevrolet Corvette C6R GT2 that took part this past week in the French long distance race.
On the eve of the battle, the Corvette had a  well-wishing visit of her WTCC cousin,the Chevrolet Racing Teams winning CRUZE, the current leader in both the Drivers’ and Manufacturers’ championships.
To complete the family picture, the youngest member of the family joined the Corvette and the Cruze: the Spark WTCC Leading Car, A spiced  up version of the Chevrolet’s city car, equipped with a 1.4-litre turbo and 140 hp engine.

The success of the CRUZE in the global market will surely make the North American introduction a GAME CHANGER when it goes on sale here.
