Lubner Motorsport to run a LADA Vesta in Germany

Lubner Motorsport is the first team that will run a LADA Vesta TCR outside of the TCR Russia series. The German outfit has taken delivery of a car from LADA Sport in Togliatti and entered it in the third round of the German VLN series that takes place this weekend at the Nürburgring, alongside its two Opel Astra TCR cars.

“We have been dealing with LADA Sport for long time and as soon as they have homologated the Vesta TCR we went to Russia for a test. Soon after we decided to buy a Vesta TCR and run it in the next VLN round,” explained team principal Mirko Lubner who added: “If everything goes well we will take part in the remaining VLN rounds and we are also thinking to make a guest appearance in the ADAC TCR Germany event at the Sachsenring.”

At the Nürburgring, German drivers Jens Wulf and Lukas Thiele will share the Vesta with LADA Sport Germany chief Andrei Sidorenko.

“We are very motivated and will try our best to make this project successful. We do not receive any supports from LADA Sport and have to do everything by ourselves. It would be great to find support to run the Vesta in some other TCR series in Europe,” Lubner concluded.
