Moscow, June 9, 2013. - The two races of Moscow Raceway WTCC not been as positive than expected for Fernando Monje (Seat Leon WTCC), who finished respectively 6th (17th overall) and 9th in Independent (18 th overall), making them the first major points for this section Yokohama Drivers' Trophy reserved for private pilots.

The Moscow was a new track for all but the pilot Chic & Basic saw this time as his 14th time obtained in qualifying was canceled by not passing your vehicle checking up on a control after it, so it has had to leave the two races from the back of the grid. Campos Racing team was really sorry for this inconvenience that does not really give any competitive advantage, since very little height difference was only part of the vehicle.

However, Monk made a good start in the first race that took him, and in the first turn, from position 22 to 14, which may be regarded as extraordinary. The race was stopped by incidents between several cars and the subsequent evacuation of them, so that with four laps contested was given a new start. Monk turned out very well, defending his 14 th place, but after a couple of turns Tiago Monteiro gave a touch from behind. The European champion controlled the car but lost precious time and could not recover, falling to 17th place and 6th absolutely independent, which would end.

The second race saw Monk go from the penultimate row (20th place) and after battling against his colleagues managed to finish 18th position overall and 9th Independents. Another tough race but also other more to Fernando Monje experience in this highly competitive WTCC. The world now come to the Iberian Peninsula, the Boavista street circuit, Porto, on 29 and 30 June.
