Yvan Muller, driving a Chevrolet Cruze, will start the first of two WTCC races on the Porto Boavista street circuit from pole position. His teammate Tom Chilton will line up alongside him, after the RML cars set the two fastest times in this afternoon’s Qualifying session. This was Muller’s fourth consecutive pole position, following similar feats in Budapest, Salzburgring and Moscow, while making it an all-Chevrolet top three – and the fastest of the Yokohama Trophy entrants – was Michel Nykjær.
