Rob Huff to double WTCC at Spa and Nürburgring 24 hours

Rob Huff is going to have a hectic time this weekend as he is going to drive both the 24 hours of Nürburgring and WTCC at Spa-Francorchamps.
“I have a really exciting weekend coming up, as I have the opportunity to race on two of the most iconic racetracks in the world in quick succession. These sort of chances rarely arise, but they’re what you go racing for so I genuinely can’t wait to get underway at Spa-Francorchamps and the Nürburgring Nordscleife,” said Huff.

The former WTCC champion is going to drive an Audi TT RS for team Rotek Racing at Nürburgring, sharing car with touring car racers Robb Holland and Darryl O’Young, as well as Kevin Gleason.

”First of all, it was great to be able to complete the six-hour qualifying race at the Nürburgring earlier this year and I believe Rotek Racing has all the necessary ingredients to produce a great result in this weekend’s 24 Hours, just as we did in the 25 Hours of Thunderhill in December. It’s always nice to link back up with Robb Holland and Kevin Gleason, especially in Rotek’s Audi TTRS, and I think we can only aim for the outright front-wheel-drive victory,” said Huff.

While Huff is aiming for class victory at Nürburgring, his expectations for Spa and the FIA World Touring Car Championship races are more modest.

“For the WTCC’s Race of Belgium at Spa, I have slightly more modest ambitions, as the length and fast, flowing nature of the circuit is unlikely to favour the LADA Granta TC1. While ORECA has provided the team with very strong engines, our high-drag aero package will hinder us on the long straights and through Spa’s many fast turns, extending the gap to our Citroen, Chevrolet and Honda rivals. We’re praying for rain in this one and the weather is notoriously changeable in the Ardennes Forest. The Granta has proven to be quite effective in tricky conditions and we’ll have a good shot at solid points finishes should the heavens open,” said Huff.
