Drivers from Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg, but also those who are racing for teams hoding a licence issued in any of the three countries will be eligible for the TCR Benelux title.

The TCR Benelux competitors in Zadvoort will be:
Julien Briché and Marie Baus Coppens, team JSB Compétition (Belgian licence)

Jaap van Lagen (NED), team Leopard Racing Team (LUX)
Danny Kroes (NED), team PCR Sport
Maxime Potty (BEL), team Comtoyou Racing (BEL)

Potty said: "In addition to my commitment inside the TCR Europe, I wanted to continue in Benelux. The level will be very high this year with, among others, Jean-Karl Vernay at the start. In Zandvoort, I intent to take revenge from my last year's forfait…"

"I'm much better prepared since my participation at the 2017 Jumbo Racedagen when I shared the car with Pepe Oriola. I've done lot of tests this winter and my Cupra has a good race pace. To race at home galvanizes me. I hope other Dutch drivers will join in the next races," Kroes stated.
