Yvan Muller set a new lap record in the final moments of qualifying to set pole position for the opening FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR) race in Macau.

Rob Huff says he is ‘very confident’ of challenging for a tenth win on the streets of Macau this weekend, after the SLR driver ended Thursday with the best time in the FIA World Touring Car Cup practice sessions.

Nine-time Macau Guia race winner Rob Huff set the pace in second practice for the FIA World Touring Car Cup in Macau, leading a Brit 1-2 at the top of the times as Andy Priaulx was second, just over two tenths adrift.

Hyundai’s Norbert Michelisz set the pace in the first free practice session for the FIA World Touring Car Cup on the streets of Macau, edging out the Lynk & Co of Yvan Muller in the closing minutes of the session.

Macau will play host to the penultimate round of the FIA World Touring Car Cup this weekend, with Esteban Guerrieri seeking to hold on to his championship advantage over Norbert Michelisz and Thed Björk.

TCR Scandinavia champion Robert Dahlgren will make his début in the FIA World Touring Car Cup at Macau next week, racing a CUPRA for PWR Racing in place of regular driver Daniel Haglöf.

Esteban Guerrieri admits that ‘sometimes you need a little bit of luck’ after the Argentine picked up more points than any other driver in the FIA WTCR races in Japan – having endured a zero-score at the preceding event.

Norbert Michelisz insists that it ‘doesn’t matter who leads now’ after the Hyundai driver left Japan’s FIA world Touring Car Cup races having briefly held the lead in the drivers’ title after another win on Sunday.

Tiago Monteiro has explained the mistake which cost him a podium finish in the final FIA World Touring Car Cup race at Suzuka, when the Honda driver took to the pit lane entrance on the final lap.

Multiple penalties were handed out after the second and third FIA World Touring Car Cup races at Suzuka, with KCMG’s Tiago Monteiro and Tiago Monteiro the biggest losers in the aftermath of race three.

Johan Kristoffersson converted his first-ever pole position in the FIA World Touring Car Cup into a lights-to-flag win in race three at Suzuka, with the Volkswagen driver bagging his second win of the season.

Norbert Michelisz moved back to the top of the FIA World Touring Car Cup drivers’ standings with victory in race two at Suzuka, holding off race-long pressure from Rob Huff to record his fourth win of the year.
