Countdown to WTCR’s High Five with Rob Huff

After his shock but welcome return to the WTCR − FIA World Touring Car Cup in 2021 following a year away racing and winning in Sweden, Rob Huff hit a high note when he followed up his WTCR Race of Hungary pole position with victory in the season finale. Continuing his adventure with top Hungarian team Zengő Motorsport in a Goodyear-equipped CUPRA Leon Competición, this is what the 2012 FIA World Touring Car champion has had to say ahead of Circuit de Pau hosting a street racing spectacular this weekend and the start of WTCR season five.

Ad/> On returning to Pau…“Every street circuit presents its own challenges but Pau was definitely one of the harder ones from when we raced there in WTCC. We had a lot of very exciting races there in the past, but it’s a really difficult circuit, non-stop with no straights.

It’s high pressure on the driver the whole time and of course to be the first event of the season brings even more pressure. But I love street circuits, everybody knows that and Pau is one that I never won and, of course, I would very much love to kick the season off with a win at one of my most memorable circuits.” WTCRBRC boss Rizzo’s advice to Hyundai-powered WTCR racers is clear13 HOURS AGO On leaving it late…“The announcement is only late because we led you to believe it’s late, we’ve been ready for this moment for years! Of course, it’s always very difficult going into any season with everything coming together at the last moment but with the experience I have and Zengő has as a team we showed last year that we can win and we are worthy winners by winning both of the last races of 2021.” On ending 2021 on a high…“There’s the age-old saying that you’re only as good as your last race and we won both of them.
