First TCR Europe race I've watched, and I doubt it'll be the last! Very good racing all round, especially Comini in R2.

Paul Ricard though is an awful, awful track for racing. Very few overtaking opportunities, very boring from the spectator's / audience's POV, and the ridiculous run-off makes it a joke with everyone constantly avoiding wheel to wheel racing.

Great driving by Borkovic
Also Comini was fantastic in race 2.
Hyundai is still unbeatable.
Disappointed by Richard, Tassi and Files.
Look like the biggest competition for Borkovic will be Azcona, Vernay and Nagy.

Gobsmacked by Comini. He almost manufactured a miracle driving that Japanese rally car. What a great drive!

Files did another big mistake. He is not up to his reputation.

So, Verstappen makes lots of mistakes every race...he is not up to being in F1 then by your standards....is that the same for every driver who ever makes a mistake? Btw, what about the brilliant job he did in race 1? Everybody has commented on what a brilliant drive that was. As for the earlier comments about him in race 2 in Adria - he beat Tarquini in an older and slower car fair and square in race 1 and we have seen Tarquini making mistakes at Dubai in the last race of last season - what has Files done to offend you and cause you to comment like this?

So, for you, all drivers have to perfect all of the time - I don't think so.

So, he never raced a kart or a car until he was 18.

When he was 18 he raced in historic and was Rookie of the Year in his first year.
When he was 19 he won a Historic championship, the youngest ever to do that.
When he was 20 he won Rookie of the Year in the UK Clio Cup.
When he was 21 he finished 6th overall in the UK Clio Cup.
When he was 22 he won the UK Clio Cup Championship and the EuroCup Clio Championship.
When he was 24 he was 3rd overall in the Italian Clio Cup.
When he was 25 he won TCR Germany.
When he was 26 he won TCR Middle East and TCR Germany again and was 3rd overall in TCE Europe.

I think that any nations press would regard him as their national treasure.

I hope that provides some 'balance' to your negative comments towards him.

Without trying to mess up with you, I still need to say I don't see any outstanding championship on your list. Let's see what happens this season in TCR Europe Series. He didn't impress me in Paul Ricard.

It's a respectable career, we are talking about a touring car driver

What happened in Adria was in though battle on a track where it is not easy to overtake. For the Ricard, my idea is that all the Hondas were a little bit on the limit...

Files is a good touring car driver, let's judge at the end of the year. I saw also Vernay struggling in the fights pushing the other cars out, so it wasn't easy for the non Hyundai drivers in this TCR opening

Well, not many touring car drivers have a record as good as his so maybe you need to let us know who you are comparing him with so we can understand the standards that you are measuring him against. It would be good to know that.

The Comini and Subaru dream is already finished. Comini will skip Zandvoort but he and his team will continue in the series with a new car...let's see what it could be

Wonder what will happen to the Subaru this season. Last year the car showed promising pace in TCR Italy but I think that the competition made a big step this year in preparation of the WTCR

From their initial press releases I got the impression they were going to make a new TCR car (model if not make) so I'm not surprised they gave up on Subaru. I am surprised they raced at Paul Ricard but not Zandvoort, though

It took a while. Spa-Francorchamps is a good circuit for overtaking without a doubt but still this is a track where weather changes almost every lap.
