The WTCR Trio with Rob Huff

Before the WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup’s summer holidays began, the FIA’s Ryan Ghis put three key questions to the drivers. Rob Huff, who has taken two race wins and the WTCR Trophy title so far in 2022, had this to say. What is your favourite corner on the WTCR calendar and why?“I can’t tell you one corner, but in terms of track, it has to be Macau.

Of course, I’m looking forward to going back there next year with WTCR because this circuit has a combination of all corners that makes it the craziest place in the world. The Mandarin corner is probably the scariest. It’s turn two and taken in sixth gear, almost on the limit.

It’s a small brake and through you go and four-wheel sliding up until the white line. But then, later in the lap, you have the slowest corner of the calendar, the Melco hairpin. But for me, it’s just about Macau, that circuit is very special for me, I’ve won there 10 times and I just love that place.” Ad The car and track are your choice but what would you choose?“Obviously, it has to be a CUPRA without a doubt! I am very lucky that I get to drive all sorts of weird and wonderful cars.

From the 1950s Jaguar E-Type at Goodwood all the way to modern-day GT3 cars and a lot of road cars in between. For me, on track, there is no real road car because you need a race car on the track. It doesn’t matter what road car you have, almost any race car would be quicker than any road car.
