King of WTCR Yann Ehrlacher moved to within eight points of the lead of the Driversā title table on a weekend when his Cyan Racing Lynk & Co team hit the top of the Teamsā standings.
Starting the WTCR Race of Spain weekend on the back of winning Race 1 at WTCR Race of Portugal last month, Frenchman Ehrlacher placed fifth and seventh in the two races at MotorLand AragĆ³n to shoot from seventh to second in the overall rankings.
āIt was a long time since I had such tough races, fighting from the first lap to the last,ā said Ehrlacher, a nod to the hugely competitive nature of WTCR. āWe hoped for a better result, but we did our maximum this weekend. Second place in the [standings] is not bad.ā
Meanwhile, Cyan Racing Lynk & Coās elevation to the top of the Teamsā standings was another highlight for the Swedish squad and the Geely Group Motorsport-developed, Goodyear-equipped Lynk & Co 03 TCR in 2021.
It follows a podium double at WTCR Race of Germany and a podium lockout at WTCR Race of Portugal. Thed Bjƶrk, who competes under the Cyan Performance Lynk & Co banner, just missed out on pole position by 0.021s before finishing a strong second in Race 2 to Comtoyou Team Audi Sportās FrĆ©dĆ©ric Vervisch.
