TCR World and life

3 SPOTLIGHT Since TCR stormed into the motorsport world, it’s been clear that this category favoured… family relationships. Fathers and sons have shared the wheel in endurance races, pairs of siblings have competed as teammates and crews formed by family members have run the cars. This characteristic was emphasized over the weekend of 29 and 30 May that turned into a real… ‘family affair’. Brothers Teddy and Jimmy Clairet took one race win apiece in TCR Europe’s event in Le Castellet, at the wheel of their Peugeot 308 cars run by their father Jean-Marie’s Team Clairet Sport (right). Another family-run outfit, Halder Motorsport, TheTCRweekend thatturned intoafamilyaffair made a clean sweep in TCR Spain’s inaugural event at Navarra with their Honda Civic cars; Mike Halder won Races 1 and 3, while his sister Michelle was victorious in Race 2 (bottom right). In TCR UK, rookie Bradley Kent claimed his maiden win in Castle Combe’s Race 2 with his Kent & Essex Motorsport Hyundai i30 N, beating his elder brother and teammate Lewis (top). Crews of brothers were also on top in endurance races.
