Jorg Muller quickest in final practice

Jorg Muller topped the timesheet in Saturday's final World Touring Car free practice at Curitiba

Although the times were more than half a second slower than those set earlier today when SEAT locked out the top five places, BMW had three cars in the top four this afternoon.

Reigning world champion Yvan Muller was second quickest after setting the pace in the earlier session. Andy Priaulx and Augusto Farfus went third and fourth fastest for BMW, ahead of SEAT Sport teammates Rickard Rydell and Gabriele Tarquini.

Alain Menu was the best of the Chevrolets in seventh place, with Tiago Monteiro eighth and Felix Porteiro the top independent in ninth. Nicola Larini completed the top 10 for Chevrolet.

The field was once again tightly packed around Curitiba's twisty 3.7km lap, with the top 14 cars all within a second of Muller's benchmark.

Tom Coronel has endured a difficult start to his independent campaign, completing just half a lap of yesterday's test session because of a broken fuel hose, and missing more time today due to a clutch problem.
