Huff aims to take points in Brno

Cambridgeshire-based World Touring Car star Rob Huff is aiming for more point-scoring rounds in the Czech Republic this weekend.

Huff's Chevrolet will be carrying less success ballast than in Pau two weeks ago, but despite this, he is expecting a tougher weekend in Brno.

"If I can bag another eight to 10 points I'll be very happy," he said.

"It's going to be more difficult this weekend because it's more of a Formula One style circuit."

Whilst Huff was able to qualify well and defend his position on the narrow streets of Pau last time out, he thinks extra weight will be more of a problem on the long, fast Brno track.

"We need every bit of horsepower and every bit of set-up that we can find to get up there in qualifying," he told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.

Huff, who is currently sixth in the drivers' standings, expects the diesel powered Seats to excel on the long climbs.

"Long straights, a very wide circuit and a lot of uphill pulls...that will certainly help the diesels," he said.

Nevertheless, despite all the potential difficulties, Huff remains quietly confident of further success in Brno.

"The two last rounds have been fantastic and put us back in the championship fight," he said.

"Hopefully we can come away with two solid results as we did on the streets of Pau."
