WTCC - 2016 Race of Hungary - Post qualifying press conference transcript

Honda has claimed its first outright victory in the WTCC Manufacturers Against the Clock team time trial after a penalty dropped Citroën from first to second at the Hungaroring.

New Zealander Hayden Paddon has taken the lead of Rally Argentina after Jari-Matti Latvala rolled in the penultimate stage of the day. The Hyundai i20 WRC driver now has three stages and 55.28 competitive kilometres between himself and his first victory in the FIA World Rally Championship, although Sunday’s stages are the roughest and trickiest of the entire rally. Running at the front of the field again, Sébastien Ogier has lost time sweeping the roads and is 29.8 seconds adrift, and team-mate Andreas Mikkelsen has now climbed to third, closing the gap to Ogier during the day to 14.5 seconds.

Two-time FIA World Touring Car champion José María López obliterated the Hungaroring qualifying lap record to beat Tom Coronel to the DHL-presented pole position for WTCC Race of Hungary tomorrow by six tenths of a second.

Jari-Matti Latvala may continue to lead Rally Argentina but Hayden Paddon has been flying, the Kiwi driver racking up victories in two of the morning’s three stages. At the mid-leg service the gap between the two was 13.3 seconds, Latvala clawing back some time in the third stage. Today was always going to be the day where road position was most marked and Sebastien Ogier, again running at the head of the field, has haemorrhaged time to Latvala and Paddon but continues to hold third.

Take one of the world’s most recognisable cities, add one of the world’s best-known national monuments and thousands of fans of electric racing, and what do you get?
