car driver like you rate the TCR
concept?
“I am impressed with what
Marcello Lotti achieved. The TCR is
a great idea and it allows racing
fast and reliable cars at a
reasonable cost. On top, I love the
possibility to race in different
countries and different series with
the same car. Creating a European
Trophy within the existing series is
also a terrific and cost-effective
option, but in longer-term, it
would be worth having a true
European Series on its own.
”
What are your plans for 2017?
“It will depend on the budget
available. TCR Benelux is an
option, especially as we have a
revenge to take after being beaten
for the title so narrowly this year,
but I must admit my dream would
be to go back to the international
stage again and do a full TCR
International Series campaign…”
