Jenson Brickley to contest partial programme

Reigning TCR Europe champion Jenson Brickley will contest a partial programme in the TCR World Tour this season with ALM Motorsport.

The British driver will get behind the wheel of a Honda Civic FL5 for the European events on the schedule, with the deal having been made partly possible thanks his title success last season.

“I’m super excited to be joining ALM Motorsport for my Kumho FIA TCR World Tour debut,” he said. “After winning the TCR Europe title last season, stepping up to the World Tour feels like the natural next challenge.

“The prize fund from TCR Europe has played a key role, and I thank Marcello Lotti, Rubén Fernández and everyone involved in that for keeping me on the grid. Competing on a global stage has always been my goal, and this is an opportunity that I’m hugely grateful for and am ready to make the most of.”

ALM took part in selected events in the World Tour last season, with a best finish of second thanks to Ruben Volt.

“We are pleased to welcome Jenson as he takes the next step in his career by joining the Kumho FIA TCR World Tour,” team principal Martin Laur said.

“Having the reigning TCR Europe champion as part of our team is a great privilege. Throughout his career, he has consistently demonstrated his ability to compete at the highest level and establish himself as a successful competitor in every series he has contested.

“We look forward to taking on this new challenge together and are confident that this collaboration will allow us to achieve strong results.”
