Russian Bears Motorsport team still participated in Yokohama Independent’s Trophy in fifth race.Viktor Shapovalov,the team leader, has clarified the situation. "The main problem with our homologation is the Opel engine C20XE,serial engine of LADA1106. I had told about main theme of this problem. This situation is clear for everyone - for FIA and for other teams. The question is how to solve this juridical problem observing the rules. This is the only demand from FIA and basic rivals as SEAT and BMW teams. Our team and JSC "AVTOVAZ" have collected and created all necessary documents to become an equal members of Manufacturers Championship to the next race. Our second problem was our front bumper which covered headlights. But we've solved this problem even before Brno."
