TCR BeneluxVolkswagen Golf GTI TCR celebrates two wins in Colmar-Berg

The WRT team brought home a total of two wins with the Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR at the TCR Benelux Championship race weekend in Colmar-Berg (L). The team got the first win in the main race of 60 minutes, in which Maxime Potty (B) and Stefano Comini (CH) took turns at the wheel of the Golf. In the first two sprint races, Potty finished in second place twice, then team-mate Comini rounded off the weekend with a win in the third sprint race. Comini's retirement in the fourth race was bearable for the team given the otherwise strong weekend. The next TCR Benelux race weekend will be held in Assen in the Netherlands, from 22 to 23 October.
