With points in each of opening four races of the TCR International Series in Georgia and Bahrain, WestCoast Racing head to Spa Francorchamps, supporting the World Endurance Championship, for the third round of the championship.

The Belgian event will see team host numerous guests from the European distributor network of main sponsor Ejendals.  WestCoast Racing’s guest will get to see the TEGERA Infinity branded Volkswagen Golf TCR cars in action on what the team hopes will be a strong weekend as they get to grips with the all-new for 2017 equipment.

Gianni Morbidelli and Giacomo Altoe are 12th and 13th in the drivers’ classification respectively, while the WestCoast Racing are eighth in the team’s standings with clear ambitions to move up the order.

“It’s fair to say that the opening two rounds of the championship were harder than we expected,” said Team Manager James Nixon. “We know we’re in a learning curve with the new car, but we really did hope that we would be closer to the sharp end.

“Even though we won here last year, Spa will be a new challenge in many respects. We believe we’ll make progress throughout practice and be in reasonable shape for qualifying. These races are very tough, but we have great confidence in the drivers and we’ll give them the very best machinery that we can.”

The TCR International weekend gets underway with two free practice sessions on Thursday, with qualifying and race one getting underway at 17.25 Friday. Race two is on Saturday at 11.35.
