Why it could have been #1 not #68 for King of WTCR Ehrlacher

King of WTCR Yann Ehrlacher contemplated swapping his long-term #68 for the coveted #1 ahead of season five WTCR − FIA World Touring Car Cup. The Frenchman, part of the Goodyear-equipped Cyan Racing Lynk & Co line-up, earned the right to carry the number one on his Lynk & Co 03 TCR in each of the last two seasons following his title success in 2020 and 2021.

Ad/> However, he has remained loyal to #68, the number of the Haut-Rhin department in France where he’s from.

“But, at the end of the day, I am quite linked to this number and I have won twice with this number so I just keep it. I hope one day I will have another chance to take #1 so I have ticked this during my career.

It’s an important question but, at the end, it’s just a number and I am more focused on what is under the number, the car, the set-up and the way I drive. These are the main things, the number is just an accessory.” WTCR season five gets underway at Circuit de Pau-Ville this weekend (May 7-8).
