BRC Racing to field two Hyundai i30 N cars

Following its commitment to take part in the WTCR with two Hyundai i30 N TCR cars, the BRC Racing Team announced a parallel programme with the Korean manufacturer in TCR Italy. Two Hyundai i30 N cars will be campaigned for Federico Paolino and Eric Scalvini.

Paolino who raced last year in the Italian SEAT León Cup said: “It’s going to be an apprenticeship year for me with a TCR car. And for this reason I have joined the BRC Racing Team that has grown a lot of experience with the Hyundai i30 N. I had the opportunity to test the car a few months ago and I was really impressed. I hope to learn a lot during the season while testing together with Gabriele Tarquini.”

One of the front runners in last year’s TCR Italy in which he was classified second with three race wins, Eric Scalvini added: “I am excited by the new challenge with a new car and a new team. I will do my best to fight for the Italian title once again, like in 2017. I am determined to test a lot and get used to the Hyundai i30 N as soon as possible. I also hope to have the opportunity to measure myself with Tarquini and Michelisz who will race for the team in the WTCR.”
