Baldan with Aggressive Team Italia in Portugal and France

Aggressive Team Italia announced that Nicola Baldan will drive for the team in the first two events TCR Europe at Portimão and Pau. Baldan, who finished seventh in last year’s Drivers’ championship, will partner Swedish driver Mikael Karlsson in the second of the team’s two Hyundai Elantra N cars.

The experienced Italian driver replaces Levente Losonczy who scored a podium result last week at Imola in TCR Italy’s opener and is due to join TCR Europe from the third event in Spa.

Baldan said: “I’m really happy to be at the start for the second consecutive year of TCR Europe; this was my goal and thanks to Aggressive Team Italia I managed to achieve it. I will try to give 110% in the hope that good results can contribute to an extension of the collaboration also for the future. I am very confident we will be able to be competitive right from the start.”

Team Principal Mauro Guastamacchia added: “We are happy to give this opportunity to Nicola Baldan, whom we consider a fast and expert driver, who will certainly be able to help us in our growth path in this initial phase of the championship. For us, it will be the first complete adventure in TCR Europe, we have all the resources to do well, and from this point of view we believe we have made an excellent choice.”
