James Walker, Jr. has chosen Risi Competizione to support his 2019 TCR programme in the TC America Series.
Walker, a 22-year racing veteran coming from the Ferrari Challenge series, will be driving an Alfa Romeo Giulietta TCR.
“I have been focusing on competing in the TCR category since its inception in 2017,” said Walker. “I am thrilled that Risi Competizione is able to continue on this journey with me. Twenty-two years of racing galvanizes the importance of surrounding yourself with the best people and best equipment. Risi does both beyond compare. Our two successful years together in Ferrari Challenge will serve as a fantastic platform to launch into TCR. Their operation is world-class, and each time I‘m 100% confident that they have prepared a car capable of winning. Hopefully my driving can do justice to their incredible preparation skills and setup talent.”
Risi Competizione has a 20-year history and an undeniable standing as a leader in racing with numerous global championships, endurance and sprint victories, and an impeccable reputation that goes with the name.
“We are pleased to extend our association with James Walker,” said Giuseppe Risi. “We’ve enjoyed working with James the past two seasons in the Ferrari Challenge series and have seen him succeed as a driver. Early on he expressed his interest to transition to the TCR Class in the TC America Series and we are happy to support him in this endeavor. We feel that our racing experience will contribute towards James’ quest for a TCR championship.”
