Confident Mikel Azcona holds healthy points margin leaving Slovakiaring
2 weeks ago
Volcano Motorsport’s Mikel Azcona leaves the opening round of the TCR Europe series season at the Slovakiaring with a healthy points advantage over last year’s champion Mehdi Bennani after a near-perfect weekend.
The Spaniard, driving the latest version of the Cupra León Competición, started the weekend on the right foot by topping the opening free practice session before effectively sitting the rain-affected second session.
Come qualifying, Azcona contented himself to the outside of the front-row as Tom Coronel claimed pole position but, ever the wily touring car driver, Azcona wasn’t concerned.
