Target Competition is off to an excellent start to the new season

The South Tyroleans from Andrian want to defend last year's title win with three drivers. John Filippi from France and siblings Jessica and Andreas Bäckman from Sweden are supposed to fix it. Already at the very first qualifying session of the season in Le Castellet (France), the Hyundai i30N, which was excellently tuned by Target, showed the potential that they have. John Filippi took pole position, while Jessica and Andreas Bäckman finished 7th and 8th. Jessica Bäckman unlucky Filippi failed at the start of the first race and fell back to 3rd place, which he was able to maintain until the finish. He also made an impressive statement with the fastest race lap. Meanwhile, Jessica Bäckman had a thrilling duel with the Spaniard Pepe Oriola, but was shot down by him. The offense was not punished. Andreas Bäckman finished a hard-fought race in seventh place. The second race on Sunday also brought a solid result for Target Competition. All 3 drivers made it into the top ten. Although Andreas Bäckman was unable to get a place on the podium after a hard and fair fight, fourth place in a field of 24 drivers is nevertheless impressive. John Filippi in 7th place and Jessica Bäckman one position behind rounded off a pleasant weekend. In the overall ranking, Andreas Bäckman is in fifth place with 58 points. The next races will take place on September 5th and 12th in Zolder (Belgium).
