WTCC FIA WTCR 2018: WTCC / TCR Merger? - Page 22

God information, he was quite good in Lada in WTCC so I'm really curious how he'll manage in a very close WTCR.

Tassi and Comini are the only ones that I personally still miss from that list. I cant wait for the new season to start

And Josh Files, really want to see what he can do against the best. But there are not many seats left...

Tarzaan · 5 Mar 2018, 09:37 (Ref:3805860)

Horrible news for Tassi Attila.

I doubt he has a chance for the 3rd Munnich car or for a 3rd Campos - if there will be a 3rd Munnich or Campos car. I also don't think he will drive on of the Alfa cars - that might be Comini - or one of the Zengő car.

His only chance is M1RA if they somehow could enter in the WTCR but they told earlier they will enter only if they can get enough money for racing on the top, they don't want to just participate.

I mostly agree with you, M1Ra is a way more professional team, but...

Drivers was OK - Ficza was 2nd in the opening WTCR race, when he drive the Zele SEAT, he easily beat the 3 Bamboo cars - but the team really wants too much, and they don't have the money backing after Norbi leaves.

It about the wooden-head of the team leader, because he force his own developet drivers - Norbert Kiss would like to race with his WTCC team, and belive me, he is a driver who would be a TOP WTCC/WTCR rider, like Norbi. He is a 2 time European Truck Racing champ, he beats Michelisz Norbi in the hungarian SEAT cup, he can won an ETCC race with the almost 10 year old Alfa against 1,6t turbo cars (2014 slovakiaring)

KIA TCR is a private developement without any factory support.

i don't understand one thing. if wtcr organizer said that all 26 spot have been already filled how can be possible that there are team like M1RA or Zengo that they release interview telling that they are trying to partecipate in the wtcr???

i mean if all 26 spot are full it means the organizers knows already who are the team who will partecipate... or not?

Still 4 full-season spots left (if Alfa GE Force & Peugeot DG Sport are 100%) so maybe they join both.

I think they have enough teams that want to drive so they (wtcr) can choose?

Theres a difference between filing an entry with the organiser, and actually having to budget to race.

Maybe they lied?

Bramzel · 5 Mar 2018, 12:27 (Ref:3805897)

Or they have more teams than places, so they're pretty sure the grid will be filled.

well in this case it's not very professional to say we have fill all 26 spot when you haven't yet the confirmation of all team.

it would be better to say we received many requests from the team and we will confirm you the team that will partecipate very soon.

**FIRE** · 5 Mar 2018, 18:28 (Ref:3806026)

A team can enter and withdraw at a later moment. It would not surprise me if that's the case with M1RA and Zengo.

Last year Tassi seemed to be good funded.

Tarzaan · 5 Mar 2018, 18:31 (Ref:3806029)

Jedlóczky Márk do a test in Zandvoort with an Audi RS3 TCR.

He wore a team Zengő suit:

BTW earlier rumor suggests he will drive in the TCR Europe in their family team, but who knows...

Enough funded for TCR International. But for WTCR he needs way more money. As a read about a double.

With him testing at Zandvoort I assume it's a Bas Koeten Racing Audi.

i wonder if it is a goodbye or if they will be back next year.

funny question: who should have the number 1 on the car?
Thed Bjork or Jean-Karl Vernay?

If you ask me, Thed is the World Champion. But probably noone is taking the 1.

Coronel revealed that the first race of the season will be broadcasted through Facebook. In Dutch: https://youtu.be/hEYRorQVHSA?t=24m51s

Little bit slip of the tongue
