MOTOR SPORT
Rob Huff won both races at the WTCC season finale in
Macau but it was not enough to catch team-mate Yvan Muller, who
claimed the world title by three points. Huff took victory ahead of
Muller in a first race twice interrupted by the safety car, cutting
the world championship gap to 13 points to set up a dramatic final
race of the season. Although Huff again dominated out in front, third
position proved to be enough for Muller to edge the world
championship battle. |
