Vito Postiglione, Proteam BMW, Marrakech WTCC 2009Felix Porteiro will be the Proteam BMW squad's only representative at this weekend's World Touring Car Championship rounds at Pau.

The Spaniard's teammates George Tanev and Vito Postiglione both suffered significant damage to their 320si machines at the last event on the streets of Marrakech.

Following Proteam's confirmation that neither car could be repaired in the break between events in time for them to be transported to the French circuit, it has elected to leave the two cars behind and run just the car of independents' championship leader Porteiro.

Tanev and Postiglione, who lie eighth and 10th in the independents' points, are both scheduled to return to the WTCC at the following round at Valencia.
