The 2013 FIA WTCC Race of Russia (formally the 2013 FIA WTCC Lukoil Race of Russia) was the sixth round of the 2013 World Touring Car Championship season and the maiden running of the FIA WTCC Race of Russia. It was held on 9 June 2013 at the Moscow Raceway in Volokolamsk, Russia, 97 kilometres (60 miles) from Moscow.

Background

After the last round in Austria, Yvan Muller was leading the world drivers' championship and James Nash was leading the Yokohama Independents' Trophy.

The SEAT cars were allowed a 10 kg weight reduction under the compensation weights system after the Austrian round, taking their weight down to 1,160 kg. The Chevrolet and Honda cars remained at their maximum weights of 1,190 kg while the BMW 320 TCs maintained their base weight of 1,150 kg. The Lada cars continued to be the lightest cars on the grid at 1,130 kg for their home race.^[1]

European Touring Car Cup regular Nikolay Karamyshev joined Campos Racing for his home race, replacing Hugo Valente on a two race deal for Russia and the following round in Portugal.^[2]

Report

Testing and free practice

Muller was the quickest driver in Friday's test session which took place on a drying track. Gabriele Tarquini was third having topped the times in the first half of the session, Tom Coronel was second fastest.^[3]

Coronel was fastest in the first free practice session on Saturday morning ahead of Robert Huff and Muller. Karamyshev was tenth quickest.^[4] Muller then led an RML 1–2 in the second practice session.^[5]

Qualifying

Coronel had been fastest in the first part of qualifying which remained dry despite a threat of rain. A number of drivers were close to dropping out of qualifying in the first session with Huff and Norbert Michelisz getting through after late improvements. The first driver to drop out in Q1 was Fredy Barth who was just over one–hundredth of a second off Michelisz's time. Tiago Monteiro was 22nd after a water pump problem on his Honda Civic.

The weather changed in Q2 with rain starting to fall meaning there were very few flying laps. Muller set the benchmark time of 1:45.335 with the fastest times being slower in the session as the rain got heavier. Coronel was second ahead of Huff, Michelisz and Tarquini. James Thompson was sixth at Lada's home race. Mehdi Bennani was tenth to secure pole position on the reversed grid for race two, he would then start alongside Liqui Moly Team Engstler's Charles Ng. Yokohama Trophy points leader missed out on the reversed grid in eleventh ahead of his former teammate Tom Chilton in twelfth.^[6]

After qualifying, both of the Campos Racing cars had their lap times removed. Karamyshev failed to stop and get his car weighed after the session while his teammate Fernando Monje's car failed the scrutineering check.^[7] Castrol Honda World Touring Car Team driver Monteiro received a grid penalty for race one when the team decided to change the engine as a precaution after experiencing overheating issues.^[8]

Warm-Up

Thompson led the warm–up session on Sunday morning. Ng ended his session stuck in one of the gravel traps while Tarquini had a minor collision with a tyre wall which ended his running.^[9]

Race One

Muller led away from pole, there was some light contact with Coronel at the first corner while Barth and Ng behind collided, putting both out of the race on the spot. Karamyshev was clipped by Ng's car as he tried to avoid the incident and returned to the pits for repairs. Darryl O'Young was also caught out by the collision and returned to the pits for repairs to his suspension. The safety car came out as the debris was cleared up, the race was then red flagged on lap four. The rescue vehicle that was recovering the stricken BMW of Ng broke down and the marshals were required to remove the car manually. When the recovery vehicle had been removed, the race was restarted with the recovery vehicle still in place when it could not be removed, the race continued with a permanent yellow flag at the first corner. Further back there was a close battle between Monteiro, Marc Basseng, Alex MacDowall and Mikhail Kozlovskiy. Up at the front, Coronel had closed in on Muller while Huff was still trying to take the final podium place off Michelisz. Throughout the field there was generally very little overtaking with the best overtaking spot at turn one unavailable. Coronel was close but was unable to pass Muller who won, Michelisz was third after holding off Huff's advances. Thompson in fifth secured Lada's best ever result in the World Touring Car Championship.^[10]

After the race, Oriola, Basseng and Karamyshev were issued with 30–second penalties when the three drivers were deemed to have made false starts. With Oriola losing his eighth place, Stefano D'Aste was promoted into the final points paying position.^[11]

Race Two

Before the race, Ng was dropped to the back of the grid when Engstler Motorsport broke parc ferme regulations to repair his car. This promoted Nykjær to the front row alongside Bennani. Bennani had a fast start from pole position and quickly distanced himself from the rest of the field. Oriola passed Tarquini on the opening lap, the Honda then went to retake the position but tapped Oriola and spun him. On the second lap Nykjær began to close in on Bennani, setting the fastest lap of the race. On lap three Tarquini and Coronel were disputing third place, the two made contact while allowed Thompson to make it a three-way battle. Going up the pit straight at the start of lap four, Huff made it a four-way battle and the quartet ran side by side until Coronel spun around the front of Tarquini's car and collided with Thompson at the first corner. Nykjær had caught up with Benanni at the end of lap four and looked likely to take the lead, Bennani stayed up the inside of the Chevrolet at the final corner, Nykjær ran out wide and Bennani retained the lead. Nykjær took the lead on lap seven. At the end of lap nine Huff attempted a pass on Bennani at the final corner, the move did not stick and it allowed Bennani and Muller who had been close behind to get in front of the SEAT. At the end of lap eleven Huff made another attempt to pass Bennani and pulled it off when Bennani spun on the exit of the corner, dropping the Proteam Racing driver to fourteenth. Nykjær held on to win ahead of Muller and Huff.^[12]
