I’M ON THE #WTCR2019SUPERGRID

FIVE FACTS

Home pride: With a background in karting and Britain’s junior formulas, Huff earned a works British Touring Car Championship ride for 2004 after winning SEAT’s one-make series in the UK. He won twice and earned a factory Chevrolet ride at world level the following season.

World star: It wasn’t long before Huff was winning in the WTCC, taking his first triumph in 2006 and the title six years later.

To Russia with LADA: After a season with the privateer ALL-INKL.COM Münnich squad, Huff signed for the works LADA squad for 2014, handing the firm its breakthrough podium and win before signing off with a double podium in 2015.

Honda-bound: A stint with the Honda factory team in 2016 resulted in one win in France before he returned to René Münnich’s outfit for 2017. Although he had the all-conquering Citroën C-Elysée at his disposal, there would be no title double. However, he did end the WTCC era with the most starts of all, 291, before signing for the Volkswagen-powered Sébastien Loeb Racing outfit for the first WTCR / OSCARO season in 2018 and claiming two wins.

Did you know? With nine victories, Huff is the most successful driver in the history of the Macau Grand Prix.
