At 17 years of age, #lucaengstler is the youngest #TCR champion ever
More success in the team championship: Titles number 11 and 12 for the racing Golf
Wolfsburg (27 February 2018). #lucaengstler (D) is the 2018 #TCR Middle East champion. The 17-year-old driver from Liqui Moly Team Engstler won the first #TCR title of the year for #volkswagen in the 350-hp #volkswagen #golfgti #TCR at the final round of the touring car championship in #bahrain (BRN) this weekend. This makes Engstler the youngest champion to date across all the #TCR series. Team Engstler also won the team championship, which meant titles number eleven and twelve for the production-based racing Golf from Wolfsburg, since the car made its debut on racetracks around the world in 2016.
Volkswagen Motorsport Director Sven Smeets: “We would like to congratulate Luca and the Engstler team on their title in the #TCR Middle East series. The team once again showed what they are capable of, under extremely challenging conditions in #bahrain. We are obviously also pleased to see the first #TCR title of the year go to a #volkswagen driver and a #volkswagen customer team. This is a very promising start to the new #TCR season for the #golfgti.”
