Turkish outfit AMS Bitci Racing that dominated last year’s TCR European Endurance series will run two Audi cars in the TCR Italy championships.
The 20-year-old Zekai Özen, who represented Turkey in the 2024 FIA Motorsport Games at Valencia and is the reigning champion in the Turkish Circuit Racing series will drive a Gen2 Audi RS 3 LMS in the SEQ series.
“This will be one of the most challenging seasons in my career, but I’m happy to join the Italian championship,” he said.
Lady driver Seda Kaçan will race in the DSG series instead at the wheel of a Gen1 Audi RS 3 LMS.
She said: "I have an emotional tie with TCR Italy since I competed in my first international race two years ago at Imola. After my experience in the TCR European Endurance last year in which I won the DSG title I feel ready to test myself in such a competitive series.”
