The Monza circuit, which opened in 1922, is known as the "Temple of Speed." With its many straights and heavy braking zones, overtaking occurs frequently, requiring skilled speed control and strong teamwork.
Norbert Mitchellis, racing with The New Elantra N TCR, took first place in the first final race on June 21, securing victory for his team, "BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse." Thanks to the balanced performance of its drivers, the team accumulated a total of 274 points and maintained third place overall in the team standings. In the drivers' rankings, Mitchellis and Nestor Girolami are tied for fifth place, while Mikel Azcona is in tenth place.
A Hyundai Motor Company representative said, "We are pleased to have achieved good results following the previous second round," adding, "As all team members are demonstrating excellent teamwork, we will continue to strive for strong results in the remaining rounds."
The TCR World Tour is a "customer racing" competition in which professional racing teams that have purchased race cars participate, as direct entry by manufacturers is prohibited. Approximately 650 drivers compete in about 40 TCR series worldwide, and among these, the top-tier World Tour consists of a total of eight rounds this year. The series is scheduled to take place in the following order: Mexico, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Australia, Korea, China, and Macau.
The upcoming fourth round of the TCR World Tour will be held from July 4 to 6 at the "Vila Real Internacional Circuit" in Portugal.
