Alex Kite joins the TCR UK grid for Castle Combe
Castle Combe specialist Alex Kite will make his TCR UK debut, when he drives a Cupra TCR DSG at the Wiltshire circuit in rounds three and four on Bank holiday Monday 31st May.
Having won the Castle Combe Saloons title in 2018 and currently leading the standings in his local championship, the 22-year-old from Dursley in Gloucestershire surely knows his way around the track.
As well as marking his debut in TCR UK, the Castle Combe encounter sees Kite make his first outing behind the wheel of a TCR car, a prospect he is looking forward to: “All of the campaigns I’ve been involved with so far have been in cars that have ran on treaded tyres and with limited modifications, so this will not only be the first time driving a TCR car, but the first time with slicks and wings. As you can imagine, I’m very excited to have this opportunity, especially at a circuit I know so well. Having seen the development of the series and the competitiveness of the TCR grid this year, it’s shaping up as the place to be if you want to compete in a high-profile national saloon car campaign. Therefore, I hope to enter more rounds this year, with a view of contesting a full season in 2022.”
