The BRC Racing’s campaign in the 2019 WTCR was launched today during a press conference at the company’s headquarters in Cherasco.
All four drivers attended the event, the reigning champion Gabriele Tarquini, Norbert Michelisz and team’s newcomers Augusto Farfus and Nick Catsburg.
Hyundai Motorsport Team Director Andrea Adamo said: “The 2019 FIA WTCR season is just around the corner and it looks set to be another highly competitive season. The team and all four drivers, are worthy championship contenders, and we wish them all the best for the challenge ahead.”
Tarquini said: “We look to defend the title and I hope my closest challengers are the other drivers in the Hyundai i30 N cars!”
Michelisz added: “This year, I am aiming to win the title. With what Gabriele achieved last year I know I am in the right car and the right team to be able to do it will be so important to be consistent.”
Farfus stated: “As a driver you always want to be in the top series, in the most competitive car, so when the chance came up to drive the Hyundai i30 N TCR in 2019 it was an easy choice to join BRC Racing.”
Catsburg concluded: “I think that the WTCR will suit my driving style quite well, and I’m excited for the season, especially thinking of the races at the Nürburgring to come.”
