Roy Block joins TCR South America grid

Roy Block has become the latest driver to sign up to compete in the inaugural season of TCR South America.

The Argentinian racer has spent recent seasons competing in TC America, and took a best finish of second last season en-route to fourth in the championship standings.

This season, Block is competing in the IMSA Pilot Challenge but failed to finish the season opener at Daytona International Speedway when the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce he shares with Tim Lewis Jr was involved in a multi-car incident whilst dicing for a place on the TCR class podium.

Block’s TCR South America programme will see him compete in events at Interlagos, Rivera and Temuco that don’t clash with his IMSA Challenge programme.

As in his IMSA programme, Block will drive a KMW Motorsports Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce, albeit run by the PropCar Team.
