WORLD AND LIFE
TCR 2018
EUROPE
Another man who won’t hold a great
memory of Monza is Dániel Nagy:
the young Hungarian scored no
points, and is now 50 points adrift,
with only a theoretical chance of a
title bid. He is sandwiched in the
standings by Attila Tassi (- 42) and
Josh Files (-55), The Hell Energy
Racing with KCMG teammates
collected three podium finishes in
Italy and by their own admission
they are now focusing on the Teams’
title, where their squad is now just
seven points behind Target
Competition and ready to give the
final assault in Barcelona.
While battles at the top grabbed all
the attention, the weekend yielded
other interesting results, like the
two solid P4 finishes of Maxime
Potty, the young Belgian at the
wheel of the Comtoyou Racing
Volkswagen Golf GTI, and the first
points for Peter Terting who took an
8th and a 6th, in what was only his
second TCR Europe outing since the
German made his comeback to
international Touring Car racing.
Last but not least, the Alfa Romeo
Giulietta made its first appearance
in the series. On home soil, the
Team Mulsanne entered car took a
7th and an 8th, despite a poor
qualifying result; Touring Car legend
Fabrizio Giovanardi found himself at
ease while fighting to recover and
showed off his usual grit while
elbowing his way through the field
in both races.
