With a seventh 1-2-3 finish this current season, Chevrolet secured its third consecutive title in the WTCC Manufacturer's championship.
Stuart Cowie, Operations Manager said: "We are very pleased with the weekend. We mathematically made certain of the Manufacturers' championship, took another triple podium and collected six finishes in the points. We couldn't ask for more. I‘m happy the three cars finished the weekend unscathed, which is important ahead of the following events. This is made even more important when you are so far from home and when you have your three drivers fighting for the Drivers' title. They are managing this situation in the most professional way and I want to congratulate them for that."
Chevrolet will retire from the category at the end of the season but is already guaranteed that one of their three drivers will be crowned in 2012.
Yvan Muller, Rob Huff and Alain Menu will fight in the two final events. The first two are equal on points, while Alain Menu is 38 behind, when 110 points are still available.
