ALM Motorsport confirms René Kircher for Red Bull Ring

By

ALM Motorsport has confirmed that René Kircher will join them for the TCR Europe round at the Red Bull Ring this weekend.

“I am super excited to start in TCR Europe at the Red Bull Ring with ALM Motorsport,” said Kircher.

“It’s going to be a tough weekend but together with the team I am ready for the challenge.”

The 25-year-old finished fifth overall in TCR Eastern Europe last year for Mertel Motorsport while driving the older FK7 generation Honda Civic.

Kircher is going to drive the latest generation FL5 Civic this weekend alongside regular driver Ruben Volt.

“We are really pleased to welcome Rene to ALM Motorsport,” said team principal Martin Laur.

“He is one of the greatest young talents in touring car racing. We’re looking forward to build his confidence in the car and team throughout the weekend. The European TCR level is really high, so it is not easy but we’ll give our all to provide him a soft landing and environment where he feels good.”
