Serbian racer Milovan Mikica Vesnić will take part in the European rounds of the 2017 TCR International Series, competing in an Audi RS3 LMS with the goal of competing in the TCR European Trophy later in the year.
Vesnić was the Central European Zone Touring Car Champion in 2013, 2015 and 2016 and sees competing in TCR as the next logical step in his racing career.
The 40-year-old will compete for the all-Serbian team ASK Vesnić in at least two of the five European rounds, which begin with the event at Spa-Francorchamps on the 5th to 7th May.
“TCR is the next step for me and my team,” said Vesnić. “We are a small team, but we have a lot of experience. My family has been involved in motor sports for more than forty years and we are not afraid to fight with the world’s top teams and drivers.
“Our main goal in 2017 is to present ourselves and our country at our best in TCR International. For the time being we have already the budget for two-three events, but we are working hard to take part in all the five European rounds plus the final in Adria.”
Vesnić is the second Serbian driver to announce his plans in TCR International, with Dušan Borković having previously revealed a switch to Alfa Romeo machinery for this year.
