Chevrolet's Yvan Muller now holds a huge lead in the World Touring Car Championship after winning the first and second races at the Moscow Raceway.
After taking pole around the series' first ever outing in Russia, Muller took his fourth win of the season in Race 1 after holding off Tom Coronel's BMW.
Michel Nykjaer won an action-packed Race 2, chasing early leader Mehdi Bennani and eventually overtaking him to claim his third victory of the season. Muller finished second after a collision between Bennani and Robert Huff.
The result of the race was affected by a pile up on lap 3 that eliminated Tom Coronel, Gabriele Tarquini and James Thompson while they were fighting for the third position.
Muller left Moscow with a record gap of 113 points over Honda's Gabriele Tarquini. This is the largest gap in points between two drivers ever witnessed in the history of the WTCC.
