M\u00fcller Lite<\/p><\/div>\n

Touring cars have always brought out the inner hooligan in racing drivers, looking through the archive the other day I happened upon this little cracker.<\/p>\n

I wrote about this incident at the time,<\/p>\n

BMW faced factory efforts from SEAT, Peugeot and Ford. But their closest opponents was the squad of Alfa Romeo 156 S2000s. At Spa the lead driver for the Italians was Augusto Farfus, who led Race Two till he had to serve a drive through penalty for this bit of mischief on the second lap as J\u00f6rg M\u00fcller’s BMW attempted to pass\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026the cars are flat in fifth, climbing up the long Kemmel Straight to Les Combes, so repeatedly biffing the car next to you and putting them on the grass is regarded as a bit much\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.I am pleased to report that my man J\u00f6rg <\/em>did not lift\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..when I asked him after the race about the incident he looked surprised that I even considered the possibility that he would take his foot off the gas for a fraction of a second\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/em><\/p>\n
