WTCR Race of Spain
MotorLand Aragon
25-26 June 2022

Mikel Azcona (BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse / Hyundai Elantra N TCR): “Aragón is my home track and I really enjoy driving there and I really like this track. I have good memories from previous visits in WTCR with a victory and a P2 so it’s kind of super-motivation to think of these memories.


It’s going to be very tough with the temperatures. It will be 40 degrees outside, but it will be especially difficult in the car because we are going to have more than 60 degrees so always when you are driving full gas in a race with these conditions you need to be very focused and very concentrated otherwise you can lose the concentration very easily and that’s going to be challenging.”




Néstor Girolami (ALL-INKL.COM Münnich Motorsport / Honda Civic Type R TCR): “It’s a tough track for us because we were struggling year by year to be in the top 10. And now everyone is on zero or 10kg we are carrying again 40kg.

This is something where I feel like it will be difficult to be in the top 10 and if you are not in the top 10 then you miss the big points. We need to work very hard. We are going to test in very hot conditions because this is what we are going to have in Aragón. Let’s hope for some rain because that is the only chance we will have.”

Rob Huff (Zengő Motorsport / CUPRA Leon Competición): “Every time we are getting stronger and stronger. That’s quite normal with the [limited] preparation we had for this season. But the team is working better than it’s ever worked.


The bond in the team, the inspiration, the positivity to keep pushing, keep trying, keep succeeding is getting bigger and bigger and I’m thoroughly proud of the Zengő Motorsport team. It’s amazing to be part of their story because it is an amazing story and we keep pushing for success and keep driving each other forward.”




Gilles Magnus (Comtoyou Team Audi Sport / Audi RS 3 LMS): “Aragón is a track that’s always been good to us with the Audi. We are heading there with 20 kilos more than at the Hungaroring but the track really suits us and I expect to be quick, fighting for podiums.


The objective is to take a lot of points, as we did at the Hungaroring. I was really suffering in the heat at the Hungaroring, maybe it was one of the most physically intense races of my career. The first race was really tough, these TCR cars a really hot inside with no air-co system and it’s going to be tough with the heat but let’s take some big points and hopefully a podium, which would be nice.”





Santiago Urrutia (Cyan Performance Lynk & Co / Lynk & Co 03 TCR): “I won my first race [in Aragón in 2020] but I think everything is different this year. You see guys and teams improving and improving, so I have zero expectations to be honest.


I will try to do the best in free practice to find the best set-up in the car and I hope we can be strong. We have weight in the car now, so I hope we can find out a good set-up in practice to be in the top 10 in qualifying and then bring the points. I will just keep it calm and do the job.”
