The Brit dominates Race 1, Menu twice on podium, while unluckier Muller keeps the lead in the Drivers’ standings

The Chevrolet team experienced another successful day in Brno, as Rob Huff won with authority Race 1 on the Czech circuit, after taking the pole yesterday. This is the fourth win this season for the RML-prepared Cruze and the first for the British driver. Alain Menu visited the podium twice, as he finished a strong third in both races, confirming his current good form. These three podium finishes, together with the fourth place gathered by Huff in Race 2, allow Chevrolet to capitalize more heavy points and to extend their lead in the Manufacturers’ championship.

Yvan Muller had an unluckier day, influenced by a race incident in Race 1 in which he was an innocent victim. Despite scoring no points today, the Frenchman retains the leadership in the Drivers’ standings ahead of the final stint of the WTCC season, which will start in Germany on 4-5 September after the short summer break.

Another Chevrolet driver deserved special praise today: Darryl O’Young, driving the privateer Lacetti of Bamboo Engineering, won both races in the Independents’ Trophy. With three wins in total this year, the Hong Kong driver is now second in the standings of the WTCC’s junior competition.
