Remembering when… Tarquini made history as first WTCR winner
Gabriele Tarquini made motorsport history on this day in 2018 by winning the first round of the all-new WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup after an action-packed opener at WTCR AFRIQUIA Race of Morocco. Starting second on the grid, Tarquini got the jump on DHL Pole Position driver Thed Björk – the FIA World Touring Car Championship winner from 2017 – at the start to take a lead he’d never lose. Ad/> “I know my child!” laughed Tarquini after the race as he referred to his new Hyundai i30 N TCR, which he played a key role in developing.
