Former King of WTCR Norbert Michelisz says the best way to avoid getting ‘bitten’ by the Nürburgring Nordschleife is not to “underestimate the challenge of the track”. The 25.378-kilometre Nürburgring Nordschleife is ranked as the world’s toughest track and hosts the WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup for the fifth season running from May 26-28.

Team boss Franz Engstler has highlighted the issues that prevented new-for-2022-signing Attila Tassi from challenging for a top result at WTCR Clean Fuels for All at Circuit de Pau-Ville recently. Tassi, who has joined fellow Honda Racing-supported driver Tiago Monteiro in the new-look LIQUI MOLY Team Engstler line-up for this season, started Race 2 from the front row of the grid only for contact with pole-sitter Norbert Michelisz to drop him out of contention and wreck his hopes of victory.
Nathanaël Berthon has spoken of his huge disappointment after his bid for a Race 1 podium turned to despair on the streets of Pau last weekend. Comtoyou DHL Team Audi Sport driver Berthon was in hot pursuit of third-placed Yvan Muller only for a tyre issue to trigger a sequence of events that led to him being spun down the order and pitting. Ad/> He eventually finished the opening round of the 2022 WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup in P16 before going on to take a fine fourth place in Race 2.
Former King of WTCR Norbert Michelisz has apologised for the rare error that wrecked his and his fellow Hungarian Attila Tassi’s hopes of winning Race 2 when the 2022 WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup got underway at Circuit de Pau-Ville on Sunday. Michelisz started the second counter at WTCR Clean Fuels for All Race of France from the partially-reversed-grid pole position for BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse. But within seconds of the red lights going out, Michelisz and Tassi had collided.
Ma Qing Hua has revealed how his careful car and tyre management helped him to a first WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup podium as a Lynk & Co-powered driver. A WTCR returnee after two years away, the Chinese star completed the Race 2 podium in his Goodyear-equipped Cyan Racing Performance Lynk & Co 03 TCR having also avoided the aftermath of the startline collision between Norbert Michelisz and Attila Tassi. Ad/> Following that third-place finish, Ma said: “The start was really tight.
Mehdi Bennani made an instant impact on his return to the WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup, scoring points and topping the WTCR Trophy order in Race 1. The Moroccan had been absent from the top-tier WTCR for two seasons but was back in action on the streets of Pau in a Goodyear-equipped Audi RS 3 LMS run by top Belgian team Comtoyou Racing.
Mikel Azcona won the partially reverse-grid Race 2 at WTCR Clean Fuels for All Race of France after front row starters Norbert Michelisz and Attila Tassi collided after launching off the line at Circuit de Pau-Ville.
