Danny Kroes is the latestyoung driver to join the TCR International Series. The 17-year old from the Netherlands will take part in the next race meeting at the Oschersleben Motorsport Arena in a SEAT León run by Ferry Monster Autosport.

“I’m really happy to be able to drive in Oschersleben. I am grateful for this opportunity, because it allows me to compete against the best TCR drivers in the world. I will try my very best to get the most out of the car and myself and to learn from competing at this top level. I am hoping to drive a full season in the TCR International Series next year and this is the ideal platform to show what I am capable of despite having only a few hours of experience in the SEAT León. It is my very first season in Touring Cars after racing a few races last year in Formula 4. Despite this I am sure that the team will give me the best possible car and I am confident that I can be competitive,” Kroes said.

Besides racing the SEAT in the Dutch Supercar Series, Kroes also took part in the TCR Benelux event at Zandvoort where he finished fourth in the Qualifying Race while sharing the Ferry Monster Autosport car with Pepe Oriola and then was classified sixth and fifth in the first and second sprint races.
