Racing Success at Monza: Michelisz and Comte Claim Victory in TCR World Tour
The BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse team is making waves in the 2025 Kumho TCR World Tour, with standout performances from drivers Nicolás Girolami and Norbert Michelisz propelling the team to the forefront of the competition.
After three rounds of the season, the team has already secured multiple podium finishes and strong championship standings. In Italy's Monza circuit, Girolami clinched a solid second place, finishing just 1.446 seconds behind the winner, while Michelisz took fourth place in the same race[1]. These results boosted Girolami to fourth place in the overall championship standings by late June 2025[2][5].
Michelisz had a stellar weekend at Monza, earning pole position, a victory, and a fourth-place finish, which moved him up to fifth in the drivers' standings[2][5]. However, he carries maximum compensation weight for the following round in Vila Real due to his success[2][5].
The team's impressive form continued at Vila Real, with drivers such as Michelisz, Girolami, and Mikel Azcona among the contenders[4][5]. The Hyundai Elantra N TCR has demonstrated competitive pace across multiple events.
As the season progresses, the BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse team continues to challenge for top positions. Néstor Girolami secured pole for the second race, while Comte secured his maiden victory in Sunday's second race[3]. Comte briefly challenged for the lead but had to retire due to a mistake at Lesmo 2 and a subsequent puncture[3]. Björk finished third in the second race[3].
Michelisz maintained his composure to win the first race, leading from pole to flag[4]. Girolami's strong points in both races elevated him to fourth overall[4]. Michelisz's performances over the weekend moved him up to fifth in the overall standings[4].
The title race remains competitive, with Yann Ehrlacher leading by 16 points over Guerrieri, and Urrutia 11 points behind[4]. Girolami's consistent performances have narrowed the gap, reducing the difference between the top contenders.
The BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse team's strong showing in the Kumho TCR World Tour is a testament to their dedication and the competitive nature of their Hyundai Elantra N TCR. As the season progresses, fans can look forward to more exciting races and potential victories from this formidable team.
