entire time. He was right there when
we crossed the line

remembers. “
That victory was for him;
none of this would have been possible
if it wasn’t for his support and
encouragement

Eddie Moutran also holds the role of
CEO and Chairman of the agency the
brothers run. “
We have
responsibilities here, and the day
after each race we are back to work in
our full time profession, but we take
so much from the track into our
business day-to-day
,” Sami comments.
For the current season, the Moutrans
swapped their León Supercópa with a
new León TCR. “
This seemed the most
logical next step for us. The car is a
great package and the best value for
money with regards to running costs
,”
Samy says, adding: “
We have won the
Championship two years in a row, so
absolutely it has gone better than we
expected. We have claimed nine
podiums in the last nine endurance
races over two seasons. I think people
would struggle to find a more
successful endurance record across
any period in any category. At the
moment we are thinking about some
exciting new developments, and we
will be sharing those as soon as we
can
.”
At the end of this year, a new TCR
regional series will be launched in
the Middle East, with races in the
Emirates, so what do the Moutrans
think about it?
“
The history of motorsport in the
region is a little fragmented. I believe
a series such as TCR, which provides a
great racing platform across all skill
levels and with sustainable budgets, is
a great idea for the region

comments.
