Tecnodom Sport has unveiled yesterday the Fiat Tipo TCR. The Italian team has already proved its competence in building, developing and running Touring Cars, clinching the Italian TCR 1.4L class with an Alfa Romeo Mito in 2016 and winning three races of the 2017 TCR Italy with an Opel Astra TCR.
The Tipo TCR has been completely designed and built by Tecnodom under the technical lead of engineer Roberto Zampieri, Abarth’s chief test driver. The car is powered by the same Alfa Romeo 1.7L engine used by the Giulietta TCR and is fitted with a Sadev sequential gearbox.
Tecnodom Sport has already started the homologation procedure with the TCR Technical Department and plans to start running the Tipo in TCR Italy as soon as the provisional homologation form will be issued.
Kevin Giacon, together with his brother Jonathan, has been testing the Tipo: “We are very proud of it! It is very well built and has a lot of potential. We are currently making tests with different type of tyres, because our plan is to sell the car to teams that race in the different TCR series. We are already building two other cars and have received requests from Turkey and South America.”
Tecnodom Sport’s principal Domiziano Giacon added: “We want to organise and event at Adria and invite the teams to discover and test the Tipo.”
