Jordi Gené and Mikel Azcona will take part in the 2021 WTCR with two CUPRA Leon Competición cars run by Zengő Motorsport.
“I’m very happy to continue racing for another season with CUPRA in the WTCR. After two years in the highest level of touring car racing with victories, my goal this year is to fight for the world title. I’m convinced that racing next to such an experienced driver as Jordi will be the best formula to be competitive and to get the best performance out of the CUPRA Leon Competición, a model perfectly suited to this championship,” said Azcona who will combine the WTCR commitment with a full-season participation in the 2021 TCR Europe, along with Evgenii Leonov, as part of Volcano Motorsport.
The season also marks Jordi Gené’s return to international touring car competition a few years after his participation in the FIA WTCC and the TCR International Series.
“I’m very excited to be back racing with CUPRA and alongside a driver as skilled as Mikel. I’ve been involved in the development of the, so I know what this model is capable of. It’s going to be an exciting season,” said Gené.
