Shota Abkhazava to drive the third Alfa Romeo Giulietta in Georgia

45-year-old Georgian Shota Abkhazava will drive the #15 Alfa Romeo Giulietta TCR with GE-Force Racing, joining countryman Davit Kajaia and Serbian Dusan Borkovic at the team for just this weekend.

Abkhazava was fourth in the AM class of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe last year, and winner of the class the previous year, and has been a regular in Russian Legend Cars for the best part of the last decade.

Abkhazava’s entry means 16 cars will participate in this weekend’s opening round of the TCR International Series at the Rustavi International Motopark in Georgia, while another half-dozen entries will join the field at the start of the European leg at Spa-Francorchamps.
