Brazilian team PropCar Racing has revealed that one of its two Alfa Romeo Giulietta TCR cars will be raced by Fernando Croce in this year’s TCR South America series.
The team ran two cars during the inaugural season last year, with no less than 11 drivers racing its two cars during the course of the year, although only Paul Holton, Fabio Casagrande and Fabricio Larratea made it to the podium in the Italian cars.
Brazilian Formula, GT and Stock Car racer Croce will get his first taste of a front-wheel drive touring car race when the season kicks off at Autódromo Velocitta in Brazil next month.
“It’s a pleasure to welcome Fernando Croce in the team,” said PropCar Racing Team Principal Dárcio dos Santos.
“He’s a very experienced driver and I had the opportunity to work with him when he took part in the Brazilian Formula 3, back in 2014.
“I know he’s quick and I expect him to be able to fight for race wins and the title.”
