TCR World and life

13 While the 2021 WTCR continues to produce different winners at every race, Yann Ehrlacher is putting consistency to good use. In the third event of the season at the Hungaroring, Gilles Magnus and Santiago Urrutia won one race apiece, becoming the seventh and eighth winners from eight races. Starting from pole position on the reversed grid, Magnus drove his Comtoyou Racing Audi to an authoritative victory in the first race (left); his teammate Frédéric Vervisch seemed set to complete a 1-2 finish for the Belgian outfit but dropped to fourth after making contact with Mikel Azcona who finished second. In Race 2, Urrutia (right) benefited from the absence of pole-sitter Rob Huff to take a lights-to-flag win from Néstor Girolami – who was later dropped to fifth by a penalty – and Vervisch. Ehrlacher pocketed two solid results – third in Race 1 and fourth in Race 2 – and took the lead in the standings, two points clear of his Cyan Racing colleague Urrutia.
