Klim Gavrilov rejoins TCR Europe grid at Spa

Gavrilov first began racing in TCR Russia in 2017, scoring one race victory at the wheel of a Lukoil Racing SEAT León, and then finished fifth in the standings last year having switched to VRC Team part way through the season.

Having joined TCR Italy for the season opener at Monza, Gavrilov won race one of the season before returning to his Russian programme, where he currently sits fifth in the standings with a single race win at at Nizhniy Novgorod.
