WestCoast Racing enters third car for Dan Lloyd

Following the announcement that WestCoast Racing will enter two Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR cars in the opening rounds of TCR UK, the team has now confirmed it will enter a third car at Silverstone for Daniel Lloyd.
Former GT and BTCC driver Lloyd already has extensive experience of the TCR concept. The 26-year old from joined the Craft-Bamboo team for the second half of the 2017 TCR International Series, the highlight of which was a brilliant second place in the opening race at Oschersleben. Lloyd was also one of the two drivers involved in the 2018 Balance of Performance test at Valencia in February. He will join Swedish siblings Jessica and Andreas Bäckman.

Lloyd commented: “I’m really excited about TCR UK and joining one of the most professional teams in the field. It’s a one-off entry at present because of the budget situation, but I really hope it’ll become a full-season campaign as I had a good time in TCR International last year and I’ve had good sponsors in the UK in the past so it’ll be great to build up a UK programme again.” 

Dick Jönsson Wigroth, WestCoast Racing Team owner added: “We’re all really pleased to be adding a third car for the opening TCR UK event, particularly for such a talented driver as Dan. I thought he was one of the best talents in the TCR International Series last year and so I’m delighted that he’ll be in a WestCoast Racing Volkswagen Golf GTI for Silverstone. It’s currently a one-off entry, but I’m keen to expand his programme to a full season in TCR UK.”
