The Spanish rider is ready to face an important challenge at the home of his team, Aggressive Team Italia, in the penultimate meeting of the TCR Europe
Penultimate meeting of the TCR Europe season at Monza, one of the classic circuits on the calendar for this championship. A route that Pepe Oriola knows very well and of which he has very good memories.
But, in addition, he already knows what it means to get on the podium on the Italian track, which he has achieved in several stages as a professional. His last triumph was achieved in 2020 in this same continental competition.
But this is not all, since, in addition, he will race at the home of his new team, Aggressive Team Italia. Quite a challenge for the Spanish rider who faces the last two meetings of the season with great enthusiasm, since in October he will close the curtain in Montmeló (Barcelona).
“With the Hyundai Elantra N TCR we go from less to more. We already showed it in the last race at the Nürburgring, where we were very competitive and put the drivers who are playing for the championship in serious trouble. I am aware that the last two meetings of the year are going to be very special for me. Starting with this weekend that we race at the home of my team, Aggressive Team Italia.
Our goal is to give my best on the track; while in October we close in Montmeló, in my house and with my people. I am very satisfied with how we are working with the team and I will try, at one of my favorite circuits such as Monza, to bring joy to the fans”, acknowledges Pepe Oriola.
Once again, it seems that the weather will be the protagonist during the weekend, since rain is expected to make an appearance, in this particular Italian track, to add to the exciting final stretch of this championship. “There are four races left to go and all the riders will go for it all, to finish defining the final positions.
Despite this, I'm not giving up anything this weekend and I'm going to go all out from free practice this Friday", adds Pepe Oriola, who can be followed live this weekend via streaming from the website of the championship: https://www.tcr-series.tv/.
