HISTORIC DOUBLE WIN FOR THE CRUZE IN AFRICA!
Huff And Larini Win A Race Each In Marrakech And The Cruze Sets Fastest Lap Twice MARRAKECH, 3rd May 2009 – Chevrolet wrote history today in Morocco, as the Cruze obtained the first two wins of its racing career, in the first-ever WTCC event held in Africa: Rob Huff took the maiden win, dominating race 1 from flag to flag, while Nicola Larini doubled the count when he clinched his first, long-awaited and well-deserved victory in a closely-fought race 2. It was a less lucky day for Alain Menu, who finished 7th in race 1 and suffered a race incident in race 2.
This memorable week-end for Chevrolet also included Rob’s third position in race 2 and Nic’s sixth in race 1, which add to Rob’s pole position and the fastest laps in both races (with Rob and Alain, respectively). In only three events, the new Cruze has proven to have reached an excellent level of competitiveness, thanks to an extraordinary team effort and the significant progress achieved since the new car’s debut in South America.
