Lewis Brown in TCR Europe with Volcano Motorsport

TCR UK race-winner Lewis Brown has announced a full-season entry in TCR Europe with a Volcano Motorsport Audi RS 3 LMS. With Isaac Smith already having announced that he will enter the opening round of the series in Portimão, this means that Volcano Motorsport will have two English drivers on the grid.

After winning Race 2 at Snetterton during the opening event of the 2023 TCR UK, Brown lies second in the Drivers’ standings but will switch to TCR Europe for the rest of the season. Despite the fact that he is yet to drive the Audi, Brown feels that the similarities between his new car and the CUPRA Leon Competición in which he took his TCR UK victory mean he should adapt quite quickly when he takes to the track in Portugal.

“Initially, my 2023 plans were to race in TCR UK, however when the opportunity arose to join Volcano Motorsport in TCR Europe, I couldn’t turn it down! Isaac Smith being in the team definitely helped with my decision to join Volcano. Having raced against him in other championships I know he's a quick driver, so together we should be able to get the Audi RS 3 LMS to the sharp end of the field,” said Brown. “Volcano are a race-winning proven team, so I'll be in good hands for my first season in Europe. The step up to the European scene is going to be an extremely exciting one, especially with three rounds being part of the KUMHO TCR World Tour. I’m ready and raring to go for this new challenge, and I can’t wait for some wheel-to-wheel battles with the best of the best!”
