Augusto Farfus produced what he admitted later was his ‘best touring car drive ever’ after he battled from P19 to fifth in Race 1 at WTCR Race of Slovakia yesterday.
In challenging conditions, the Brazilian’s overtaking masterclass netter his best result in the WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Car Cup presented by OSCARO.
“These races are all about finding the right spot on the opening lap and you need a good chunk of luck to just manage to get through,” said the BRC Hyundai N LUKOIL Racing Team pilot. “It worked and after I had some reasonable pace so I could also make progress. It’s the top five from P19, I don’t think anyone would have thought about that.”
After rear contact caused a puncture in Race 2, Farfus was at his overtaking best again in Race 3, this time making up 10 places in his charge from P17 to seventh.
