Rob Huff’s SLR Volkswagen breaks cover
Rob Huff’s new Sébastien Loeb Racing-run Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR has broken cover for the first time during testing ahead of the WTCR season at Zandvoort.
The former WTCC title winner is amongst a number of drivers to be testing at the Dutch circuit as preparations continue for the opening meeting of the WTCR campaign in Morocco next month.
Huff’s livery had only previously been seen in artists impressions that were released last week.
Huff’s new team-mate Mehdi Bennani has also appeared on track in his fully liviered VW for the first time.

The appearance of the Volkswagens comes after the Boutsen Ginion Racing Hondas of Tiago Monteiro and Tom Coronel displayed their colours on Tuesday.
Münnich Motorsport pair Esteban Guerrieri and Yann Ehrlacher are running in unliveried cars, with the WRT and Comtoyou Racing-run Audi RS 3 LMS cars also in action.
Say hello to @AurelienPanis 👋🏻 We’re happy to see you on track here in #Zandvoort 😁 Enjoy your laps! #WTCR @ComtoyouRacing pic.twitter.com/r9FUSHrYEr
