Robert Huff Biography

Robert Huff is one of the most popular and richest Racing Automobile Driver who was born on December 25, 1979 in Cambridge, United Kingdom. Huff was born on Christmas Day 1979 in Cambridge. He had a long and successful junior career in karting. From 1993 to 1996, he attended St Faith’s School in Cambridge and The Leys School in Cambridge. He was runner-up in the 2000 EthylMG Championship and the 2000 Formula Vauxhall championship. His main sponsor was his father’s Chartered Surveying company.

He finished fourth at Brands Hatch in 2006, his best performance of the first half. After an accident at Puebla, he was taken to the hospital. Huff was 24th at Brno, Czech Republic’s next event. However, he battled through to eighth in the first race. This gave him pole for race 2, which is the first WTCC win and first Chevrolet win in the dry. He finished 16th in final standings, but he was not able to achieve any further results.

He opened 2008 with four pointless races, but came in first and second in the two races at Valencia. He was disqualified from the second race of the FIA WTCC Race of the Czech Republic due to his car having an illegal anti-roll bar linkage. At Brands Hatch he made his 100th WTCC start, qualifying third and taking the lead after a lap one collision between Menu and pole sitter Augusto Farfus. He led until a puncture three laps from the end. He finished the season third in the championship, behind SEAT drivers Yvan Muller and Gabriele Tarquini.

For 2009, Chevrolet switched to the Cruze chassis. Huff did not make the best of starts to the season, failing to progress through to Q2 at the Race of Brazil and scoring no points. It was not until the Race of Morocco when things picked up; Huff took pole position and won the first race to take his first points of the season and the first win for the Chevrolet Cruze. He qualified fifth at the Race of France but a good start meant he passed pole sitter Andy Priaulx and then Farfus on the second lap to take his second win of the season. Huff qualified on the front row for his home event, the Race of UK. He passed pole sitter Menu and led away from the restart after the safety car but was re-passed Menu, depriving Huff of a home win and putting him under pressure from the BMW of Priaulx. Huff qualified sixth for the Race of Germany but dropped to sixteenth on the grid after an engine change incurred a ten- place grid penalty. A first lap incident in the first race eliminated Huff along with Jörg Müller, Jordi Gené and Farfus. Gené caused an accident in the first race of the Race of Italy, making contact with Huff under braking who then made contact with SEAT of Rickard Rydell. Huff escaped any serious damage to hold onto third. He took pole position for the season finale at Macau and dominated the first race. Huff finished the season ranked fifth in the championship, ahead of team mates Alain Menu and Nicola Larini.

Ray Mallock was the team leader for SEAT BTCC in 2004. When his company took over the Chevrolet WTCC project they retained Huff. He finished ahead of his more veteran team mates Alain Menu (race one) and Nicola Larini (race one) at the season’s opening Race of Italy. In Silverstone’s home race, he collided with Antonio Garcia’s BMW and had to be forced to retire. Huff’s best result in 2005, despite having a difficult year with his new car was sixth in Mexico. This was the point that earned him the first WTCC points. Huff finished the year in joint 20th place with Stephane Ortelli in drivers’ championship, with just three points in Mexico. He also participated in a one-off in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB guest car, but collided in race one with championship contender Tim Harvey.
