Franco Girolami joins MM Motorsport for TCR Italy opener

Franco Girolami, the brother of Honda WTCR driver Néstor Girolami, is going to join MM Motorsport for the TCR Italy championship season opener this weekend.

“I am extremely pleased with this opportunity, and I wish to thank my brother, Honda and the team for offering it to me,” said Franco Girolami.

Girolami is going to drive a Honda Civic Type R TCR for the team and has brought his brother to the race weekend for assistance.

“Néstor has come to Mugello to help me with his advice and technical expertise and I hope I will be able to get used to the car soon. My goal is to try and make the top-five and maybe stepping on the podium. It won’t be easy, but I will do my best,” said Franco Girolami.

The 28-year-old has mainly raced in Argentina previously, claiming the 2011 Formula Renault Plus, 2012 TC2000 Junior Championship and 2018 Top Race V6 titles.
