WTCC - Termas de Rio Hondo: Valente's team-mate Dusan Borkovic explained that he had changed the car significantly from practice to qualifying.
"My second lap here on old tyres in testing was quicker than my qualifying lap," said Borkovic who starts 14th. "It is because I am new to the series that I need to change the car from zero to ten just to find out how everything works. We will go in another new direction for the race."
