24 cars took part in TCR UK pre-season test at Brands Hatch

An impressive 24-car field took part in TCR UK’s pre-season test, yesterday at Brands Hatch.

26 drivers hit the track during the six sessions with only the first one hampered by early morning fog, while the sun was shining for the rest of the day.

Five of the top ten combined fastest times were set by drivers who will make their debut in TCR UK this year. Hyundai drivers Adam Shepherd and Bradley Kent posted the two fastest laps ahead of Callum Newsham’s CUPRA and the 16-year-old Alex Ley, the youngest driver in the field, in his ex-Target Competition Hyundai.
