Jenson Brickley wins the championship, as Junesung Park cruises to first victory in Barcelona

Jenson Brickley has been crowned the 2025 TCR Europe series champion by a margin of just one point over Teddy Clairet. The victory came down to strategic teamwork played out among the Monlau Motorsport drivers, while Junesung Park controlled the race from pole position to claim his and the team's first win in the final race of the season.

Park started from the reversed-grid pole position ahead of Teddy Clairet, who needed to close a five-point gap to Brickley to claim the title. With Brickley starting seventh on the grid, Clairet was initially in the "box seat." Clairet held second place into Turn 1, while a strong start from Eric Gené allowed him to pass Teddy’s teammate Jimmy Clairet and move up to third.

To stand a chance of winning the title, Gené needed to pass Teddy Clairet on track. However, coming through the field from ninth on the grid was the fast-charging Ruben Volt, who was already up to fifth by the end of the first lap.

The critical phase began on lap eight when Volt passed Jimmy Clairet's Audi, putting him directly behind the battling title contenders. Gené continued to follow Teddy Clairet but was unable to mount a sustained attack. On Lap 13, Gené strategically slowed down to allow Volt through. When Volt subsequently overtook Teddy Clairet, Gené dropped down the order and fell behind Brickley as part of a concerted team strategy by Monlau Motorsport, which ensured Brickley would secure the championship.

Park crossed the finish line 1.9 seconds clear of Volt to score his maiden win in TCR Europe. Teddy Clairet finished on the podium in third, but with Brickley taking fifth place, it was not enough to overcome the points gap. The British driver won the title in his debut year in the series by the narrowest of margins: one point.

There were further reasons to celebrate for the team, as Monlau Motorsport also secured the teams’ championship by three points. Furthermore, Eric Gené was confirmed as the Youth Best champion ahead of Brickley.

The 2026 TCR Europe season is scheduled to get underway at Mugello in Italy on March 20–22nd.
