Tom Coronel joins Boutsen Ginion Racing

Tom Coronel will race for Boutsen Ginion Racing in the 2018 WTCR at the wheel of a Honda Civic Type R TCR.
The Dutchman had already driven for the Belgian team last year, in the TCR Benelux – in which he scored three race victories at Zolder – and in the TCR International Series at Spa-Francorchamps.

“Many people know that this is a development I hoped to see two years ago already. The WTCR is a worthy successor of the FIA WTCC in which I participated every season, but it is fair to say that, from a sporting perspective, I was often making up the numbers in the most recent years. Now, we are facing a new challenge with identical equipment for everybody, at tracks all over the world and for me an excellent situation with a brand-new Honda Civic built by JAS Motorsport and run by Boutsen Ginion Racing. A car that has specially been built for this championship and that allows us to take on the other brands at a level playing field. Personally, I reckon that this could very well be the best season start of my entire career in touring car racing. It certainly is the best package I have had in the last ten years,” Coronel commented.
