Raphaël Fournier secures full-time JSB Compétition seat

French teenager Raphaël Fournier will return to the TCR Europe series for a full season in 2026 after re-signing with the JSB Compétition team.

The 18-year-old debuted in the series in the final two rounds of the 2025 campaign having started the year in the FFSA TC France series, where he finished second in the standings.

Fournier’s best result in TCR Europe came in the final race of the season at Catalunya, whilst he also contested the TCR World Tour meeting in Valencia – scoring points in two of the three races.

“After racing on French tracks in 2025, we’re taking on the challenge of TCR Europe in 2026 with the goal of improving and maybe even reaching the podium,” he said.

Fournier will pilot a Hyundai Elantra N TCR with his team-mate to be confirmed in the coming weeks.
