Experienced Spanish Touring Car driver Jordi Gené has been hired by the Liqui Moly Team Engstler for this week’s TCR International Series event at Imola.
Gené replaces Mikhail Grachev and joins Davit Kajaia in the second Volkswagen Golf Gti TCR run by the German outfit.
The Spaniard was one of the leading players in last year’s TCR International Series; he scored three race wins for Craft-Bamboo Lukoil at Sepang, Sochi and Singapore, and eventually was classified third in the Drivers’ Championship.
He also knows the Golf Gti TCR very well as he took part in the technical development of the German car.
