Nicola Baldan celebrates incredible victory as one of his best races

Nicola Baldan scored his first win—and indeed his first podium—since Zolder 2024, and only his second in TCR Europe, from fourth on the grid in a dramatic first race at Paul Ricard, in which he had to battle back after losing ground at the start.

Despite being up to second at the first corner, the PMA Motorsport Audi driver was shuffled back in a battle with the various CUPRAs around him, and had to work his way back towards the front.

The Italian made his final pass into the lead on lap ten, slipstreaming past local driver Victor Weyrich before going on to claim victory.

“That was definitely one of my three best races,” said Baldan. “It was an incredible race. I got off to a good start, but then I got a bit caught up in traffic and blocked by the traffic ahead of me. I lost a lot of positions, but then I had incredible pace.

“The car was perfect, and with overtake after overtake, I managed to win. It’s an incredible result for me and for the team. I am truly so, so proud of the colours I wear and also of the brand I am lucky enough to drive.”
