Menu takes commanding opening win

Alain Menu secured a commanding win in the WTCC's opening race at Suzuka. The Swiss driver's pole position kept him clear of a chaotic run to the first corner, which removed the Chevrolet's biggest threat in the form of Robert Dahlgren's Volvo, and then capitalised on team-mate running Yvan Muller running wide through Turn 7 a few laps later to secure complete control of the race. He crossed the line more than three seconds ahead of fellow Chevy racer Rob Huff, while SUNRED's Michel Nykjaer was able to keep Muller at bay to claim third outright in his independent SEAT.
