TCR MIDDLE EAST
Breukers and his Red
CUPRA DSG finished second in all the
sprint races and in the standings, but
they were clearly tipped to win in the
24H Middle East Championship.
However, the Dutch team ran into
brake problems and lost many laps in
the pits for fixing the ABS system one
hour before the end of the opening
round, the 6H Dubai and this handed
an unexpected victory to the Zengő
Motorsport CUPRA of Zoltán Zengő
and Csába Tóth.
Breukers made up for the
disappointment in the following 4-
hour races at Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
He won both, sharing the car with his
father Ivo in both rounds, while
Lebanon’s Yusif Bassil was added to
the team in the last event. The JW
Bird Motorsport Volkswagen Golf GTI
of Kieran Griffin and Paul Dehadray
was a close second at Abu Dhabi,
while the second Zengő Motorsport
CUPRA driven by Tamás Horváth and
Gábor Kismarty-Lechner was runner
up in Dubai. Zengő and Tóth finished
third twice to secure the second
position in the final classification.
