Hyundai Motorsport has confirmed an all-star driver line-up for the 2019 FIA World Touring Car Cup season, with reigning champion Gabriele Tarquini and team-mate Norbert Michelisz being joined by Augusto Farfus and Nicky Catsburg.

Pepe Oriola says he ‘could not have had a better season finale’ after ending the inaugural FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) season in joint fifth in the standings, after taking two top ten finishes in Macau.

Esteban Guerrieri says his first season in WTCR, and his second in World Touring Cars, has been ‘fantastic’ after the Münnich Motorsport driver claimed his second win of the season on the streets of Macau.

Frédéric Vervisch was delighted to score a maiden victory in the second FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) race in Macau, which was also the first for Comtoyou Racing in the series.

Gabriele Tarquini believes that claiming the inaugural FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) title was harder than his WTCC crown in 2009, due to the competition in WTCR being ‘higher’ than it was almost a decade ago.

Yvan Muller will join Lynk & Co Cyan Racing for the 2019 FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) after being confirmed as the team’s second driver alongside Thed Björk on Sunday (18 November).

Münnich Motorsport’s Esteban Guerrieri won the final race of the FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) behind the safety car in Macau, as tenth place was enough to give BRC Racing’s Gabriele Tarquini the drivers’ title.

Frédéric Vervisch took victory in an eventful second race for the FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) in Macau, with Timo Scheider holding off Yvan Muller for second as points leader Gabriele Tarquini failed to finish the race.

Rob Huff lamented losing the lead at the start of the opening FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) race in Macau, saying his Volkswagen didn’t have the speed in the parts of the circuit where he could overtake his rivals.

Yvan Muller admitted there was ‘no point’ in defending from Jean-Karl Vernay in the opening FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) race in Macau, due to the speed advantage carried by the Audi over the Hyundai.

Jean-Karl Vernay admitted that he had been hoping for a safety car intervention in the first FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) race in Macau, believing that it would give him the best chance of taking a win.

Jean-Karl Vernay secured victory in the opening World Touring Car Cup race on the streets of Macau, after both the Audi driver and the chasing Hyundai of Yvan Muller got past the Volkswagen pole-sitter Rob Huff on the first lap.
