Press Release
PRESS RELEASE 18 November 2017 Rounds 19 & 20 – TCR International Speedfest, Dubai – 17 / 18 Nov 2017 RACE REPORT Jean-Karl Vernay is crowned Drivers’ champion Pepe Oriola and Stefano Comini share race victories The 2017 TCR International Series’ final event at the Dubai Autodrome was a thrilling decider for all three titles on offer. Jean-Karl Vernay was crowned the new Drivers’ champion, while M1RA and the Volkswagen Golf GTI claimed the Teams’ and Model of the Year awards respectively. Vernay settled the matter in the first race and in his way: a display of clean and faultless driving, in full control of his only real competitor Attila Tassi and patiently waiting for the opportunity to strike the winning blow. That opportunity came on the penultimate lap when the Frenchman overtook James Nash for third, crushing Tassi’s last remaining hopes. Vernay’s success also meant that the alliance between Leopard Racing and WRT successfully took one of their drivers to the title for the second consecutive year. Pepe Oriola and Stefano Comini ended the season on a high note, winning one race apiece. Oriola proved that the SEAT León – the first ever TCR car – is still very competitive on its third racing season. Comini - who wanted to abdicate in style while handing the title to his former teammate – was tantalisingly close to securing the second place in the standings, but he eventually lost it to Tassi by a single point. The young Hungarian had high hopes before Dubai, but he failed to keep the title fight alive until the last race.
