A Peugeot for Francisco Abreu in TCR Europe

20 April 2018

Last year’s winner of the TCR Ibérico and runner up in TCR Portugal, Francisco Abreu, will take part in the 2018 TCR Europe Series. The 23-year-old from Madeira will drive a Peugeot 308 TCR run by the Portugal-based Sports&You team.
Abreu switched to Touring Cars in 2016 and built himself a reputation by finishing the season as TCR Portugal vice-champion with two victories at the wheel of a SEAT León. Last year he drove a Volkswagen Golf GTI and scored three wins that helped him to clinch the TCR Ibérico title and finish second in TCR Portugal once agian.

Team principal José Pedro Fontes commented: “Francisco has been the logical choice. He’s one of the most promising Portuguese drivers and has experience with TCR. We are confident that together we form a strong team.”
“I am very proud to be part of this programme. It’s a reward to fifteen years of dedicated commitment, as my dream of racing at an international level comes true. I am very grateful to all the people who have worked to grant me this great opportunity and I will do my best to fulfil their expectations,” said Abreu.
“The Peugeot 308 TCR is the answer to the expectations of teams and drivers from different international and national series. The car benefits from the vast expertise of Peugeot Sport and we are sure it will be competitive on the track. We wish Francisco Abreu all the best for the internationalization of his career!” said Jorge Tomé, CEO of Peugeot Portugal-Spain.
