Where could he drive?

- 3rd All-Inkl Honda: imho thats for Rene Munnich. If I were him I also keep that seat to my own fun.

- Team Zengő - Zengő usually fill his team with his "own" drivers (he run a lots of car in hungarian champoiship), so not too much - but still some - chance + team team was not too competitive since Norbi left them

- DS Peugeot - Idon't see too much chance for this. OK, Homola was from Czech Republic, but I don't think they want to pay to Tassi.

- Alfa: same situation

- 3rd SEAT -if not Maldonado, Tassi hase some chance here.

honestly i'm happy that some good team are moving to tcr europe because this means that also the level of tcr europe will be high with good drivers.

I just don't agree with the choice to dont match the calendar of wtcr with tcr europe for the european round.

In that way team and drivers of tcr europe could have get much more popularity.

Morbidelli and Giovanardi in two Alfas in WTCR would be a dream... not very likly though. I rather wonder why they think Gleason can help them in testing... or did he buy a drive?

Borkovic-Gleason could be a combination for the Alfa team in WTCR. There is also the V-Action team that has two Alfa, maybe we will see Gio or Gianni in these car in TCR Europe or Italy

I don't think that Morbidelli will race in a TCR series just a few months after the BoP test. It would be a nonsense (unfortunately).

Monza? They are testing at Monza? They don't need more straight line performance, they need agility and cornering finesse.

Zengo is negotiating with two manufacturers for WTCR.

Sebastien Loeb Racing and BRC Racing Team showed their liveries. SLR's Golfs look great and very professional which of course is not a surprise. But I'm not a fan of Hyundais' livery. It is visible that this is actually almost factory Hyundai team but it'd look way better if it had bigger Hyundai logos.

Completely agree.

Great job with the VWs but those Hyundais look awful...

Anybody know what the testing times were from Monza yesterday? How did Hyundai compare to Honda?

The BRC livery is possibly the worst I have ever seen. That is no exaggeration.

Weak colours, lines which don't flow at all well, poorly aligned aponsors, white wheels that do not suit the livery...

I could go on.

BRC's livery is a great example of a 3 years old kid's creation with a limited version of Paint.

Its weird how people in the age of mass media can underestimate the power of advertising through visual appeal...

Remember the Cliff-Calibra that won the ITC in 96? Or the Bastos BMW and Rovers in the 80ies? People link Marlboro still to McLaren, 20 years after their last support. But Hyundai with their defacto works team chooses to race a car, that looks like a private sticker job for a regional hillclimb...

I don't understand the meaning of make it test a car to great champions like Morbidelli and Giovanardi if then you dont give them a seat to race full season... whoever will drive alfa Romeo will never have the talent of the 2 Italian guys

I think Romeo Ferraris will need at least one pay driver, like Kajaia. Hopefully they can attract either Tassi or Comini for the season, cause that will make a difference.
Bud indeed, Giovanardi and Morbidelli in 2 alfa-red colored Giulietta's would be amazing, like the old days. Especially on tracks where top speed is important.

They should replace the grey with Castrol green.

The BRC car looks awful.
