Target Competition confirms seven Opel Astra cars in TCR

Target Competition has confirmed the switch from SEAT to Opel for 2016 and will run a total of seven Astra race cars in the TCR International and Germany Series.
“We are very proud to be able to race under the Opel colors in the TCR,” said team principal Andreas Gummerer.

“We are convinced of the Astra TCR’s potential and trust Opel’s extensive experience in touring car racing. For us, mutual trust is the basis for good collaboration, and that was present in abundance from the very first moment,” added his co-team principal and brother Markus.

Target Competition secured the drivers’ and teams’ title in the 2015 TCR International Series.

“We are delighted that the 2015 TCR International Series champions have decided to race our Astra TCR this season. We can only benefit from their TCR experience. With Target Competition, we have found a strong customer and partner for entry into the TCR series,” said Opel Motorsport director Jörg Schrott.

The team has not yet confirmed drivers for the 2016 season.
