The first edition of the TCR Europe held
as full-fledged series is set for a
thrilling finale. The last events of the
season, at Monza and Barcelona, will
be worth being watched closely, as the
battle for the title promises to be
breathtaking until the very end.
Instead of clarifying the situation at
the top of the standings, the two races
of the fifth meeting of the series, at
the historic and beautiful TT Circuit
Assen in the Netherlands, delivered
more suspense and yielded the seventh
and eighth different winners out of ten
rounds!
Dániel Nagy and Attila Tassi, who had
been shining since the start of the
season, finally were able to climb onto
the highest spot of the podium, giving
Hungarian fans plenty to cheer.
Nagy, at the wheel of the M1RA
Hyundai i30 N, took an authoritative
win in Race 1 after passing Jean-Karl
Vernay’s Leopard Lukoil Team Audi RS3
LMS, which had inherited pole position
because pole-sitter Josh Files and his
Honda Civic had to serve a three-
position grid penalty from the previous
round at the Hungaroring. Vernay,
whose car had been severely damaged
in Free Practice after jumping on a
concrete kerb, could offer only little
resistance to the Hungarian.
