What the WTCR race winners said in Alsace GrandEst

This is what Nathanaël Berthon and Rob Huff had to say after they shared the two race wins at WTCR Race of Alsace GrandEst earlier today. RACE 1: Nathanaël Berthon (FRA), Comtoyou DHL Team Audi Sport, Audi RS 3 LMS“Bebu [Néstor Girolami] did an incredible job so it was not easy to keep him behind, but it’s so good to win here in France. It’s been a long time so it’s good.

I had a vibration with three laps to go. I was terrified of losing a win again. I’ve already lost a podium and a fourth position twice… A lot of points have gone and this time it would have been a victory.

It would have been a disaster. Finally, the victory is home. I’m very happy, but it was very stressful.

We are a very good, very well-connected team and we work well together. The drivers, engineers, team manager… we’re always trying different stuff. We are four cars so we are going faster, for example, than Hyundai who have only two.

Also we lost the 40kg [compensation weight] this weekend, so that helped. We are lucky there is a long straight here because the start was good, I could use the tow [from Girolami], we touched a little bit, but I was faster in the straight and I could manage the first corner easily. Then I saw the fighting behind, I could manage things a bit more and it’s super to get the victory.” Ad/> RACE 2: Rob Huff (GBR), Zengő Motorsport, CUPRA Leon Competición“First of all a huge thanks to the team for giving me a transformed car from Race 1, which gave me everything I needed to win Race 2.
