WTCR racer Coronel keeps it in the family following Ring win

Tom Coronel enjoyed a Sunday afternoon to remember at the Nürburgring in Germany yesterday. The WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup driver was back on TCR Europe duty and took victory in the only race that could run after thick fog blighted the weekend schedule. Ad Starting from pole in his DHL-backed, Comtoyou Racing-run Audi RS 3 LMS, Coronel was never headed, taking top spot ahead of former WTCR wildcard Nicola Baldan and Franco Girolami, brother of WTCR race winner Néstor.

“I was slightly cautious in the chicane because we had incurred some minor suspension damage in the chicane in free practice. Therefore, I just took a little less risk than normally. “All in all, it went seriously well and I was able to win the race with a clear margin, a solid two seconds.

I would say that we had a top weekend. And then being able to stand on the podium together with my son Rocco and having him handing over the trophy to me, that was really nice, of course.” The post WTCR racer Coronel keeps it in the family following Ring win appeared first on FIA WTCR | World Touring Car Cup.
