HUFF COMPLETES CHEVROLET EUROPE TEAM

After enlisting experienced touring car drivers, Alain Menu (41) and Nicola Larini (40), Chevrolet Europe has signed up the young British driver Robert Huff (25), to race the third Chevrolet Lacetti in next year’s FIA World Touring Car Championship. Huff has already spent a number of years in motorsports driving touring as well as single seater cars. In 2003, he was champion in the British SEAT León Cupra Cup, winning the rounds at Croft, Oulton Park, and Thruxton. In 2004, he competed in the BTCC (British Touring Car Championship) for SEAT Sport and scored two outright wins.
“I am extremely happy to have Alain and Nicola as team mates in 2005,” said Huff. “I am sure I can pick up some new tricks from them.”
Prepared by Ray Mallock Ltd of the UK, Chevrolet will enter three racing Lacetti cars in the new FIA WTCC that succeeds the FIA European Touring Car Championship in 2005. Eric Nève, who was appointed Manager, Motorsports for Chevrolet Europe December 1: “I am quite optimistic that we have found the right mixture of experience and youth.. As GM’s biggest  international brand, it was also important to us to have a good mix of nationalities.”
