Tom Coronel stays with Comtoyou Racing for WTCR

Tom Coronel will again be on the grid for this year’s WTCR that will get underway in Hungary on the last weekend of April.
The 47-year-old Dutch driver will remain loyal to Comtoyou Racing, and will drive one of Audi RS 3 LMS cars run by the Belgian team.

“Indeed, a different car, but the same team as last year,” Coronel commented. “For me, racing with the same team for a longer time is important. Last year co-operation was pleasant for both sides. In October last year, during the TCR Spa 500, Audi showed its interest in a co-operation with the team and with me as a driver. That gave me a good feeling, also because Audi is involved in this project in various ways. Technically, the Audi has many similarities to the CUPRA I raced last year, but the RS 3 LMS really surprised me during my first tests in Spain with the Goodyear tyres. It is different in several aspects after all and that gives me a good feeling. We also know already that we will be doing some further testing prior to the first race weekend to fine-tune the car.”
