Former TCR Europe champion Mikel Azcona and his co-driver Evgenyi Leonov began the 2020 Campeonato de España Resistencia with a double victory in the TCR class in the season opener at Navarra's Circuito de Los Arcos.
In both the 48-minute races, the Spanish-Russian pairing drove their Volcano Motorsport CUPRA to claim dominant wins in the TCR class; they also finished sixth in the overall classification.
Guillermo Aso (PCR Sport, CUPRA) finished twice in second position, while the podium was completed by the young rookie Ferrán Mendez (RC2 Junior Team, CUPRA) in Race 1 and by Philipp Smaali-Álvaro Fontes (SPV Racing, Audi RS 3 LMS) in Race 2.
