TCR World and life

As for the two other contenders, Kevin Ceccon has enjoyed ups and downs, winning one race in both events (bottom left) but retiring in the others, while Eric Brigliadori struggled with the pace of his Audi in July and swapped it for a Hyundai i30 N in September (below). A broken wheel hub in Qualifying relegated Brigliadori to 20th on the grid of both races and he couldn’t do anything other than trying to elbow his way through the field. Ceccon and Brigliadori are currently fourth and fifth with gaps of 13 and 32 points respectively. TCR Europe’s points leader Mikel Azcona returned to Imola in July for a successful guest appearance; the Spaniard looked set to claim another double win like in 2020 but was stopped by a puncture in the first race. He made up for the disappointment by beating Buri to the victory in Race 2 (above). 27 Round 7 – Saturday 24 July, Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, Imola 1. K.
