This bumped out Norbert Michelisz who then responded to go second to put Oriola out in Q1. Despite having not gone out for a final run, Muller was quickest in the first session, with Huff second. In the second session, Muller initially set the pace, although the Hondas of Tiago Monteiro and Michelisz were second and third. Tarquini in the third Honda had been close to dropping out in Q1 and now had to return to the pits when his front bumper was damaged. Muller was the only driver to set a time below 2:29; Monteiro would start second and Tarquini third. MacDowall was the leading independent driver while Tom Coronel finished tenth to take pole for race two, where he would share the front row with Thompson.Tremayne Sam Macau WTCC: Yvan Muller takes first Macau pole of career http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/111320 Autosport Haymarket Publications 16 November 2013 15 November 2013 Warm-Up Huff led the final warm-up session in the WTCC on Sunday morning, Pepe Oriola was second fastest ahead of pole sitter Muller.Hudson Neil Rob Huff leads incident free warm up at Macau http://www.touringcartimes.com/2013/11/17/rob-huff-leads-incident-free-warm-up-at-macau/ TouringCarTimes Mediaempire Stockholm AB 17 November 2013 17 November 2013 Race One Before the race started, Tarquini required an engine change in his Honda Civic and would not make the start but would start race two from the back of the grid.ENGINE CHANGE FOR TARQUINI http://www.fiawtcc.com/news/detail/id/2244 https://archive.today/20131117114847/http://www.fiawtcc.com/news/detail/id/2244 dead 17 November 2013 World Touring Car Championship Kigema Sport Organisation 17 November 2013 17 November 2013 Muller led away from the final rolling start of the World Touring Car Championship and distanced himself from Monteiro in second.
