After making a one-off appearance in the final 2021 TCR Europe event in Barcelona, Giacomo Ghermandi has committed to the full 2022 season of the series.

Ghermandi will be at the wheel of a CUPRA Leon Competición entered under the banner of Scuderia Ghermandi by LEMA Racing. Prior to Barcelona, the Italian driver’s previous experience in TCR competition was limited to a full season in the 2021 TCR Eastern Europe series that saw him finish in 12^th place in the final standings.

“We are delighted to announce our full-season participation in TCR Europe,” said Ghermandi. “This is a very important step for my racing career and so we are working flat out to get ready from the start. It will be an exciting new adventure that will put me in a position to face the best TCR competitors in Europe, although our priority will be to fight for the Diamond Trophy.”
