Bradley Burns joins TCR UK grid for second Donington meeting

Bradley Burns will make his TCR UK debut this weekend when he joins the grid for round two on the Donington Park GP layout.

Burns will race a Gen2-spec Audi RS 3 LMS for the Area Motorsport squad as he returns to TCR competition, having previously raced in TCR Germany.

Last season, Burns secured the title in the Audi TT Cup and insisted he was excited to see how a current-spec TCR car compared to the Honda Civic he competed in previously.

“I love racing on weekends, and part of the fun is going racing with friends and having a good time,” he said. “That said, I know things are getting serious as I return to driving a TCR car for the first time in a few years.

“TCR has moved on a lot since I last competed full-time. I haven’t had a lot of time testing in the car, so working with Area will give me a solid base to start from. I’m aiming to have two good races and finish both races on Sunday.”

TCR UK Championship Promoter Stewart Lines was pleased to add an experienced TCR racer to the grid.

“It’s great to see Bradley make his debut in TCR UK this weekend and that he’s also making a return to TCR itself,” he said. “It’s an exciting, affordable, and competitive touring car formula to be a part of.

“I’m delighted that we can also provide a diverse range of TCR manufacturers and models on the grid this weekend, with several drivers and teams making a return to the championship. I look forward to seeing how Bradley gets on with the Audi.”
