Cayrolle leads the French patrol in TCR Europe at Pau

Pau’s touring car hero Eric Cayrolle leads the quintet of French drivers who have joined TCR Europe for the event on the streets of the historical city at the foot of the Pyrenees.  

Cayrolle, who has always found a way to take part in his home race when WTCC and WTCR visited Pau, will be at the wheel of a Comtoyou Racing second-generation Audi RS 3 LMS. Together they form a terrific package that can aim for some impressive results.

CDRS teammates Christian Phillippon and Julien Nougaret are regulars in the TCR class of the FFSA TC France series; Philippon drives a first-generation Audi RS 3 LMS and Nougaret a CUPRA TCR. The same team has entered another CUPRA for Olivier López who comes from the Peugeot Racing Cups.

The local patrol is completed by Michel Leal’s Volkswagen Golf GTI, run by Team Leal Compétition.
