Monteiro relishes “support and passion” during home WTCR weekend
Tiago Monteiro said the “support and passion” from his home fans made up for a tough WTCR Race of Portugal weekend on track for the Honda-powered LIQUI MOLY Team Engstler driver. Monteiro, who started the weekend as the last driver to have won on Vila Real’s iconic street track following his 2019 victory, finished P11 in Race 1 before he crashed out on lap two after he went off-line following contact with trackside barrier and collided with ALL-INKL.COM Münnich Motorsport driver Esteban Guerrieri. Ad/> Although the incident caused huge disappointment among the thousands of fans lining the ultra-demanding Circuito Internacional de Vila Real, the Portuguese driver was cheered onto the Race 2 podium.
