BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse Team Principal Gabriele Rizzo reckons being the fastest on the Nürburgring Nordschleife’s 2.8-kilometre Döttinger Höhe straight could hold the key to a strong WTCR Race of Germany weekend for the title-winning Italian outfit.

Mikel Azcona was crowned King of the Weekend after an extraordinary fifth round of the FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup, Race IT, at Autodromo Vallelunga Piero Taruffi where searing hot temperatures gave all competitors a stern test in the glorious Regione Lazio. Azcona took his first King of the Weekend win as his Hyundai Motorsport N squad were victorious for their first weekend too as they overtook Romeo Ferraris in the standings after a weekend which promised much for the local squad but ultimately delivered a very different weekend than that expected.
Twice a winner en-route to third overall in the 2021 PURE ETCR standings, Azcona’s arrival at Hyundai Motorsport came with high expectations of a title challenge in the inaugural FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup. Ad Azcona was only driver to switch manufacturers after ending his long association with the SEAT/CUPRA brand in favour of a move to Hyundai Motorsport N where he made his mark the squad’s most competitive entry as its highest-placed driver in five of the six events.

Leading WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup driver Néstor Girolami has described his younger brother Franco’s capture of the TCR Europe title as “well deserved”. Driving an Audi RS 3 LMS, Girolami Jr (pictured left) put the regional crown beyond doubt by securing the necessary points in qualifying at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Saturday. Ad After completing the Race 1 podium in third place, the Argentine then scored his fourth victory of the season by winning Race 2 on Sunday in a 1-2-3 for the Comtoyou Racing to highlight his hugely impressive campaign.
Team Principal Gabriele Rizzo has revealed the secret to BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse’s success in the WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup. BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse tops the Teams’ classification heading to the season-deciding events in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia next month, while its Spanish ace Mikel Azcona holds first place in the Drivers’ table. Ad Speaking at WTCR Race of Alsace GrandEst in early August, Rizzo said: “I feel that we got close to the maximum we could give, and that is something that has happened often this year, which explains why we are leading both standings.
After a close season-long battle with Romeo Ferraris, Hyundai Motorsport N was able to edge further ahead of their rival to secure second place in the FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup final standings after the final event, Race DE at Sachsenring, where Norbert Michelisz finished his season with a King of the Weekend podium. Michelisz emerged as the lead Hyundai Motorsport driver despite the pace and potential of Mikel Azcona, who entered the weekend as a King of the Season contender but endured a weekend of penalties and frustrations. Ad FIA ETCRTambay crowned first-ever FIA ETCR King of the Season20 HOURS AGO In what was his strongest weekend of the season, Michelisz claimed third place from the weekend at a circuit he’d never seen before, and one which firmly became a new favourite.
Norbert Michelisz, the 2019 WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup title winner, completed the FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup season with a Race DE King of the Weekend podium for Hyundai Motorsport N. It was the Hyundai Veloster N ETCR-driving Hungarian’s best result of the season and was in contrast to team-mate Mikel Azcona’s Sachsenring weekend, which was beset by issues from the outset and culminated in the Spaniard losing out of his top three finish in the final title standings. Ad “It was a very solid race weekend – probably my best of the season, and it’s always nice to finish the year like this,” Michelisz said.
