» WTCC Round 4: Farfus quickest in Zolder test

BMW’s August Farfus set the fastest lap time in the free test session held in the lead-up to the return of the Zolder circuit to the World Touring Car Championship, which is playing home to the fourth round of the 2010 championship season.

With Farfus’ team-mate Andy Priaulx helping to sandwich the current championship leader Yvan Muller’s Chevrolet into second place, it can be consdered a productive day for the BMW team.

The greatest surprise was the fourth-placed result for Independent Trophy driver Daryl O’Young, who achieved a time just over 0.4s slower than Farus in the (comparitively) elderly Chevrolet Lacetti.

SEAT’s Tom Coronel finished atop the timesheets for the Spanish marque, with the Dutchman finishing ahead of the other Chevrolet Cruzes of Robert Huff and Alain Menu.

Just behind the other SEATs of Jordi Gené and Gabriele Tarquini came hometown hero Vincent Radermecker, who rounded out the top-ten in the session
