Tom Coronel unveils 2023 TCR Europe livery

By

Touring car veteran Tom Coronel has unveiled the livery for his 2023 TCR Europe campaign with Comtoyou Racing.

“It was quite exciting for a long time, but I’m super happy that it worked out again. I’m looking forward to it,” said Coronel.

Long-time sponsor DHL is gone, with Tricorp instead taking the title sponsorship on Coronel’s car.

“This was not unexpected, DHL had indicated early on that the support would end due to a change in strategy. I am extremely grateful for the support I have received from DHL over the past years, it really was a great partnership,” said Coronel.

“It takes some getting used to, being no longer in a yellow car, but I think the black and red, which stands for both Tricorp and Audi Sport, also has a very nice look.”

Coronel finished second overall last year, despite missing the Norisring round, and will be back for a full season in 2023 behind the wheel of his Audi RS 3 LMS Gen II – aiming for a top three result again.

“If you look at last year’s results, that should definitely be achievable, as almost all factors are unchanged,” said Coronel.

“In addition, it would be nice if I can compete in the TCR World Final at the end of the season. That means I need to score enough points for the TCR World Ranking, so every result counts. But above all, I am happy to be back on the grid this year as well. My 34th year in racing, so that is now my starting number indeed. I’m looking forward to it!”
