Tom Coronel to drive a new Audi for Comtoyou in WTCR
Tom Coronel will return to the FIA WTCR in 2021 at the wheel of brand-new Audi RS 3 LMS for Comtoyou Racing.
The Dutch driver, who is embarking in his 32nd motorsport season, will join Frédéric Vervisch and Nathanaël Berthon who have already been confirmed for the Belgian team, while the name of the driver who will complete the four-car line-up will be announced in due course.
“I am feeling very comfortable, both within the team and in the FIA WTCR,” said Coronel. “I am the driver with the highest number of races in this series, having competed in the European Touring Car Championship since 2001, the World Touring Car Championship since 2005 and WTCR since 2018. Last year, things were going particularly well: I have shown that I am still able to compete for podium results and race wins at this level. Halfway through the season, I was in second place of the drivers’ standings. Of course, that is something I want to build on this season!”
Chris Reinke, head of Audi Sport customer racing, commented: “Tom Coronel is one of the most profiled touring car drivers of our time. He has competed in more than 500 touring car races in his career so far. Since last year, he has been relying on the Audi RS 3 LMS and we are proud that he chose Audi again this year. "
