Stian Paulsen will take part in the TCR Europe Series with a SEAT León run by his own team Stian Paulsen Racing. Last year the Norwegian’s plans to compete in the European events of the TCR International Series and the TCR Europe Trophy at Adria were broken off after his car was massively damaged in the pile up at the start of Oschersleben’s Race 2 in July.

“I am very excited to be part of the TCR Europe Series! It is a perfect programme for me and my own team. All the events are in great venues and within a range I can drive in my van, with my racing car on the trailer. I am still trying to catch up with my plan, because I needed some times to find the funds, so I am currently working on rebuilding my car that had not been repaired after I got caught in the crash at Oschersleben. I am working very hard and I hope I will finish in time to race at Paul Ricard,” said Paulsen.
