Wins for Miller and Huff in dramatic final WTCC round

  • Intro:

    Wins for Yvan Muller of France and Britain's Rob Huff in the final round of the 2013 FIA World Touring Car Championship in Macau.

    Script:

    Action packed races in Macau for the the final round of the FIA World Touring Car Championship.

    Yvan Muller managed a lights to flag victory in race one.

    It was the 2013 world champion's last race with RML - and he has left in some style.

    SOUNDBITE (English) Yvan Muller, race one winner:

    "To win race (is good) but at the same time I have all my team behind me. And I am a thousand times happy to win that race because first it is Macau race winning, victory. And also because it is my last race with the RML team."

    The second race was not quite as straight forward - a huge pile up on lap one

    Norbert Michelisz hit a barrier that ended up wiping out eight cars.

    Only Alex MacDowall and his car made it back on the track after race was suspended to clean up the mess.

    The safety car was re-deployed on lap 6 and it caused another pile up and red flag.

    This left some of the drivers unhappy.

    SOUNDBITE (English) Tom Chilton, RML:

    "I don't know what the problem was with James (Nash). But he hit me very hard up the backside about four or five times. And he just kept hitting me and hitting me and hitting me from behind."

    Pepe Oriola is being investigated by the stewards for his driving both in race one and in race two.

    But out of the chaos Rob Huff emerged victorious - taking the lead with two laps remaining.

    SOUNDBITE (English) Rob Huff, race two winner:

    "What an amazing race! Or (even) three races! I said to you on the grid - I started P7 - in the end I overtook 12 people and finished P1 so just amazing. (I am) so happy for the boys. Double podium this weekend."
