Tom Coronel joins Aurélien Panis at Comtoyou Racing

Tom Coronel will compete in the 2019 WTCR at the wheel of a CUPRA TCR run by Comtoyou Racing; he will team up with Aurélien Panis.

“My contact with the team started at the end of last year,” Coronel said. “After Macau, I spoke with Kurt Mollekens. He is a former teammate of mine in the Opel Lotus Euroseries 1994 and currently is an engineer at Comtoyou Racing. Our conversation got me thinking and after some discussions with the team led by François Verbist and Jean-Michel Baert, we made a deal for the upcoming season. With SEAT, I have had quite some success behind the wheel of the León. The contract also includes some test days, the first of them on 27 and 28 February when I will be driving a CUPRA at Zandvoort.”
