Ivo Breukers explains:
“I think that
at the beginning of the season, not a
lot of people believed in the concept

races, closely-fought until the flag and
ending with almost insignificant gaps.
It was terrific racing and I am sure
that, following that, the class will
grow a lot in both numbers and
variety for 2017.”
As if to confirm his prediction, one
month before the 2017 24H Series
kicks off in Dubai, six TCR entries
have already been lodged: four SEAT
cars, one Honda and one Audi.
