Tom Coronel was fast but out of luck when he returned to TCR Europe duty at Autodromo Nazionale Monza last weekend. Dutchman Coronel, a WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup race winner, took his Comtoyou Racing Audi RS 3 LMS to the fastest time in both practice sessions at the Italian venue. However, hopes of a high starting position were extinguished by an unfortunately-timed red flag in qualifying left him P18 for both races.
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.
CUPRA EKS driver Adrien Tambay enjoyed a perfect Pool FURIOUS DHL Super Final to confirm his status as the first-ever FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup King of the Season in Sachsenring for Race DE. Tambay enjoyed a faultless weekend and was only denied the King of the Weekend crown by team-mate Tom Blomqvist setting a faster lap time in qualifying – the tie-break decider with the pair scoring the same across an exciting weekend of racing at the superlative Saxony circuit.
Tom Blomqvist’s super Sachsenring weekend came to fruition with the win in the Pool FAST DHL Super Final meaning he is unbeatable in the Race DE King of the Weekend standings. The CUPRA EKS driver secured maximum points through his heats and although this points tally can still be matched by his team-mate Adrien Tambay, a faster qualifying time for Blomqvist means he would win the tie-breaker.
Pool FURIOUS drivers Adrian Tambay and Mikel Azcona had glorious starts to their Sundays in Sachsenring for the final day of the 2022 FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup with a win apiece in their respective Pool FURIOUS Semi Finals as the temperatures increased at the superb Saxony circuit. Ad Tambay kept his perfect record thus far this weekend intact with a win in Pool FURIOUS Semi Final One for CUPRA EKS, largely without incident, save for a late lunge from Luca Filippi in his Romeo Ferraris at the start of the final lap.
Before the WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup’s summer break, the FIA’s Ryan Ghis put three key questions to the drivers. This is what Nathanaël Berthon, a race winner for Comtoyou DHL Team Audi Sport last month, had to say. What is your favourite corner on the WTCR calendar and why?“There are many interesting corners in the WTCR but there are quite a few on the Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany.
CUPRA EKS driver Adrien Tambay took a step closer to taking the first-ever FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup title with a win in the first Pool FURIOUS Quarter Final where the Frenchman dominated for 98% of the time, even if Hyundai Motorsport N’s Norbert Michelisz stalked his prey in epic fashion on the last lap to take the lead at the start of the final corner, only to lose it moments later as Tambay crossed the line just ahead. Mikel Azcona meanwhile took the FURIOUS Quarter Final Two win for Hyundai Motorsport N after an early fight with CUPRA EKS man Jordi Gené and late dice with hithertoo race-long leader Luca Filippi whose Romeo Ferraris Giulia ETCR had led from pole till the final corner too.
