Successful racing weekend for Target Competition

While the South Tyrolean racing team with the 3 drivers Niels Langeveld, Francesca Raffaele and Cesare Brusa took part in the TCR-Italy in Imola, a second team from Andrian competed at the German Nürburgring. Two 2-hour qualifying races for the infamous 3-hour race took place there. The driver pairings of the Team Target Competition were Manuel Lauk (Germany) and Marc Basseng (Germany), as well as Moritz Oestreich (Germany) and Antti Buri (Finland).

The Hyundai “Elantra” and the Hyundai “i30N” celebrated great successes at the Nürburgring. On the first day of competition, the two Hyundai teams gave their opponents no chance and crossed the finish line in 1st and 2nd place. In the general class, where there were over 90 vehicles at the start, the duos also recorded a good overall result with positions 31 and 33. The team from Andrian was able to repeat the double victory from the previous day on Sunday. Daily victory and an even better overall result behind the much stronger GT3 racing cars were an excellent result for team owner Markus Gummer's racing team.

At the same time, things were going great for Niels Langeveld at the TCR-Italy in Imola. In qualifying he secured vice pole position, while Francesca Raffaele, who was only 19 years old, was able to achieve a very good 32th place on the grid among 20 participants.

At the start, the Dutchman destroyed his good qualifying result on the 1st meter by stalling his engine. The excellent starting position was gone and the race was already over. With final rank 7 he was able to pick up some important points, but the disappointment was written all over the pilot's face. Francesca Raffaele, on the other hand, had a better race, achieving a top result in 12th place. Starting in 27th place, Cesare Brus was able to improve a lot and was ultimately satisfied with his 13th place.

For Niels Langeveld, race number 2 on Sunday didn't bring about a big change; he started from 6th place and finished in the same position. Cesare Brusa and Francesca Raffaele were able to make up a few places and ended up in positions 13 and 14.

The next TCR-Italy races will take place in Misano from June 2nd to 5th.
