Honda Racing WTCC takes its first WTCC MAC3 victory of 2017!

Honda claimed victory in the third MAC3 session of the 2017 FIA World Touring Car Championship while Tiago Monteiro secured a front-row grid spot at the Hungaroring.

The three-car crew of Ryo Michigami, Tiago Monteiro and Norbert Michelisz completed the fastest team time trial at the 2.7-mile circuit near Budapest, emerging on top by nearly four seconds.

Tiago’s ninth-fastest time in qualifying ensures that the Championship leader will start from second place in the reversed-grid Opening Race with a great chance to add to the three podiums he’s taken from the opening four races this season.

His Castrol Honda World Touring Car Team-mate Norbert Michelisz, who is racing in front of his home crowd this weekend, was the fastest of the three Honda Civic WTCCs in the session, which began on a damp track.

His sixth-quickest time in Q2 was agonisingly close to giving the Hungarian hero a spot in Q3, but just fell short.

Norbert, a two-time WTCC race winner in his homeland, will start the Opening Race from fifth spot.

Ryo Michigami showed top-five pace in a wet second practice session, but just missed out on a top-10 grid spot. He qualified 12th for the Main Race and will start the Opening Race from 11th.

Sunday’s Opening Race begins at 1235 with the Main Race following at 1345.

“On the positive side, I’m on the front row for the Opening Race, which gives me a great chance to increase my Championship lead. P9 isn’t where I expected to be on speed, but the Honda is running maximum compensation weight and in qualifying – the first time we’ve had a dry track all weekend – you can really feel this having an effect on the car. We’ll work out where we can improve things from tomorrow and then attack.”

“It’s been a very good day and I’m delighted to have my second win of the year. From second on the grid, the target was to take the victory and we’ve done this, despite carrying 80kg of compensation weight. It’s a nice points advantage to have so early in the season, but we’ve seen from what’s happened to Norbi at the past two races that you can lose big points very easily through no fault of your own. It’s very important to keep building on this at the next few rounds.”
