Pit Lane Competizioni announced Enrico Bettera as the team’s first driver for the 2019 TCR Italy campaign.
Bettera and Pit Lane Competizioni began racing together in the 2016 TCR Italy when the driver claimed his maiden victory in the season’s finale at Monza at the wheel of a SEAT León and was classified a brilliant sixth in the Drivers’ standings. Having switched to an Audi RS 3 LMS in 2017, Bettera scored another race win last year at Imola and finished the season in fourth position. He also made occasional appearances in the 2017 TCR International Series and the 2018 TCR Europe Series.
Team principal Roberto Remelli commented: “We have cemented a friendly relationship with Enrico and therefore we are delighted to retain him as part of the team for the new season. Last year we have achieved important results and the victory at Imola was the icing on the cake. We wish to repeat ourselves and possibly improve. Bettera has grown up a lot in previous years and we are confident he has the potential to fight for the title.”
The team will unveil the names of its other drivers in due course.
