RC2 with Felipe Fernández and Santiago Concepción in TCR Europe

RC2 Racing Team will be back to compete in TCR Europe this year, running a pair of Honda Civic Type R FL5 cars for Felipe Fernández and Santiago Concepción.

The Barcelona-based team is looking to make significant strides this season after a competitive campaign in 2024, with Fernández securing the Diamond Trophy and putting on some star performances, especially at Spa-Francorchamps where he secured pole position and set the all-time TCR race lap record.

Concepción meanwhile competed in only a partial season, but the 21-year-old put on a fantastic performance at the season finale at Valencia, taking his first win in the rookies’ category, and scoring a pair of top five finishes, one coming from the back of the 18-car field.

"I want to thank everyone involved in this project for embarking on this venture once again, especially my family for their support and to RC2 Racing Team for their trust in me,” said Fernández. “Last season I wasn't as consistent as I would have liked, and I made some mistakes. Over the off-season I have worked together with RC2 Racing Team to improve those driving areas and also how to prepare for the weekend. I would like to improve on my 2024 results, but more importantly, improve my qualifying performance, which I think was my weakest point last year.”

Concepción said: “The plan is to do the whole championship, and before the first race we’ll do some testing to be prepared to fight at the top from the start. I feel very comfortable with the guys at RC2 Racing Team, the mechanics, the engineers, and with JAS Motorsport, so I’m thinking I’m ready to be fighting there at the front of the grid.”
