Hyundai Motorsport expands Kumho FIA TCR World Tour squad

11 March 2024

Néstor Girolami has joined Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing, adding a third driver to the highly successful BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse line-up for the Kumho FIA TCR World Tour season.

The 34-year-old Argentine will drive a Hyundai Elantra N in the series, joining the unchanged driver pairing of Norbert Michelisz – the winner of the 2023 Kumho TCR World Tour drivers’ title – and Mikel Azcona.

Girolami said: “I am extremely happy to join Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing and BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse for the Kumho FIA TCR World Tour. Moving to a new manufacturer and a new team is a fresh challenge in my career, but one I am very excited about. There is some pressure, but I feel I will be able to fit straight into the team, and immediately compete for victories. The aim, of course, is to win the drivers’ title and be part of the push for the teams’ title together with Norbi and Mikel.” 

Hyundai Motorsport Circuit Racing Project Manager Julien Moncet said: “We’re delighted to have Néstor join as part of the team for the new Kumho FIA TCR World Tour season. His record and experience in TCR competition put him at the top of our list to increase our involvement in the series, and we know he will fit perfectly into the team alongside Norbi and Mikel. The aim this year is to renew our challenge to win both the drivers’ and teams’ standings.”
