For Team Capricorn from Graubünden, which has only been in existence for a year, second place in class was the first major success in the team's young history. The Seat Leon Supercopa of Claudio Truffer, Patrik Meier and Geri Haas even started the race from the best position, but had to admit defeat to the experienced Hofor-Küpper team after a race that was not without its problems.
There are still places available for some races
Now Capricorn is going one better. From the next race in the popular FIA Endurance Series of the Dutch agency Creventic on May 6 and 7 in Zandvoort (twelve hours), the team from the Grisons will also be entering a new Honda Civic TCR purchased from JAS-Motorsport. They will be competing in the newly created TCR class for two-liter turbo cars, which is booming worldwide.
Two Seat Leon TCRs from Spain were on the grid at Mugello, with the Swiss team finishing ahead of the second-placed team in their old Leon SC. According to team president Patrik Meier, driver's seats have been in high demand since the success in Mugello, but there are still a few available for all races. Prices are 2222 euros for an hour's drive in the Leon Supercopa and 2444 euros in the new Civic TCR, including training and full support.
