WTCRRace report: Berthon is best in Alsace GrandEst for a home WTCR highYESTERDAY AT 04:08 “It’s very intense,” said the 26-year-old. “We saw Rob [Huff] having good results and making two victories in Portugal and here so you cannot sleep because if you sleep for one weekend you get out from #FollowTheLeader, so you need to concentrate, not make any mistakes and finish in the top positions. That’s not easy because we saw already the fights this weekend.

I’m happy to keep first position in the #FollowTheLeader and it’s looking good for the summer break. It’s a bit more time to relax and to prepare for the next weekends. It’s incredible to lead at this point of the year.” Details of the updated 2022 WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup calendar will be announced in due course.
