Ildar Rakhmatullin returns to WestCoast Racing for his home race

By

Russian Touring Light 2015 runner-up Ildar Rakhmatullin will be behind the wheel of the third WestCoast Racing Honda Civic TCR, alongside regular drivers Gianni Morbidelli and fellow Russian Mikhail Grachev.

The 30-year old driver had already raced in the Honda last year in Sochi, and will return to the Swedish team for his home event.

Another last-minute addition to the grid will be Vladimir Sheshenin, who currently leads the Russian National class in a Lada Kalina. The 27-year old will be at the wheel of a Liqui Moly Team Engstler Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR.

The addition of Rakhmatullin and Sheshenin brings the total of Russian drivers on the grid to four, as they will add to Mikhail Grachev and Sergey Afansyev.
