Tarquini is the guest star at the Red Bull Ring

Gabriele Tarquini will be Hyundai’s guest driver in this weekend’s TCR Germany event at the Red Bull Ring. The Italian ace who is currently seventh in the WTCR standings, follows Jessica Bäckman who drove the guest i30 N car at Most three weeks ago.
"I saw many races on TV last year, especially after Hyundai's joned the series," said Tarquini. "The races are very exciting and great to watch, because the level of the drivers is very high. I'm looking forward to starting in a German racing series again after the 1999 STW season."
The Austrian event is the third of the season for the German championship that is currently led by Mike Halder in the Honda Civic run by the Profi-Car Team. Halder is followed by Max Hesse (Team Engstler Hyundai) and Antti Buri (LMS Racing Audi RS 3 LMS) who are 15 and 17 points behind respectively.
The defending champion, Harald Proczyk (HP Racing International Hyundai), is placed fourth, a further 20 points adrift.
In 2018 the two races at the Red Bull Ring were won by the Audi of Niels Langeveld and by Proczyk in an Opel Astra.
This weekend's races will take place Saturday at 17:15 and Sunday at 14:40 (CET) and will be streamed live at www.tcr-series.com and www.tcr-series.tv.
