Porteiro was the winning Yokohama Independent driver and Yvan Muller finished eighth to secure pole position for race two.ROUNDS 11 & 12 – BRNO, CZECH REPUBLIC RACE REPORT http://www.fiawtcc.com/uploads/files/eventdetail/97/brno_race_report.pdf fiawtcc.com Eurosport 26 December 2012 21 June 2009 September 2016 InternetArchiveBot yes Race Two Starting on the front row, Porteiro moved into the lead at the start while Hernández then took second from pole sitter Yvan Muller.
