The World Touring Car Championship standings have yet another new look to it after Jorg Muller's win in the second race of the day at Valencia was enough to put him up into second place on leader board, while Augusto Farfus' fifth enough to move him into a surprise top spot with only two races at Macau to go.
Indeed, going into the two races in Spain, it was Andy Priaulx, Gabriele Tarquini, Rickard Rydell and Dirk Muller that appeared to hold all the aces, despite the closeness of the standings. However, when that quartet failed to do any better than scrap for the minor points, Farfus and Muller strong weekend ensured that they go to Macau as the drivers to beat, turning the form book on its head once again.
In a race that was equally as close, if not as spectacular, as the first race, only 24 cars took to the grid after Tarquini was unable to get his heavily damaged SEAT back out into the reckoning following his crash in race one. Nonetheless, clad in plenty of masking tape, fellow race one victims Priaulx and Rydell lined up, albeit at the back of the field.
Up at the front Alain Menu had pole position, but quickly seceded it to the BMWs of Duncan Husiman and Jorg Muller from the off, the rear-wheel drive 320sis diving up the inside of the sluggish Chevrolet into turn one, even if it did take another couple of corners for Muller to shake the Lacetti off.

BMW 1-2 became a BMW 1-2-3 when star of the opening race, Luca Rangoni, wasted little time in cementing his pace around the Valencia circuit by finding a way past Menu in a move that started at the end of lap three, the duo going side by side well into the turn four of the fourth lap before Rangoni eventually prevailed without a scratch on either car.
With SEAT having dropped the ball somewhat in the first race with a grid penalty for James Thompson courtesy of an engine change, a drive through penalty for the then leading Jordi Gene and various debilitating incidents between Rydell and Tarquini, the team were having to pin their hopes on the sole top ten Leon, that of Peter Terting.
