Huff finished the season ranked fifth in the championship, ahead of teammates Alain Menu and Nicola Larini.

The Chevy Cruze "blue train" with Huff, Yvan Muller and Alain Menu was again dominant over the field, taking 20 wins out of 24 races in the season.

Muller took nine wins and led the championship for most of the season, Huff showed consistency and finished in the points for all the races except two.

[16] In the final round in Macau, Huff was a clear favourite with a 37-point lead over Menu and 42 over Muller after qualifying on pole.

[19] He failed to set a time in qualifying for the Race of Italy having collided with the Wiechers-Sport car of Fredy Barth in the first few minutes of Q1 and breaking his suspension.
