Lada Priora WTCC

[faksta]

The car was launched today in Porto together with a new driver for Lada team. The first Priora will be driven by James Thompson, while Ladygin and Van Lagen will race 110 cars for some time. As far as I understood, Thompson didn't take part in practice session, so the pace of the car is still unknown for me.
