Tomáš Pekař and Franjo Kovac to race with Renault Megane in TCR

An experienced racing driver Tomáš Pekař is about to add new machinery into his portfolio. The Czech racer will be taking part in the ESET V4 Cup weekend at Red Bull Ring, where he is joining the TCR grid with Renault Megane TCR.

Tomáš Pekař joins the Besagroup Vukovic Motorsport team which plans to enter two cars, the other Megane will be driven by Franjo Kovac. That means two more drivers in the TCR Eastern Europe by ESET, which runs the highly popular TCR specification cars.

Tomáš, let‘s start with your plans for this season. It looks like a busy one for you.
Once again, I’ll be doing the whole Clio Cup Central Europe series with Renault Clio. Then, I’m also going to try the competition in the TCR category, where we will be racing with Renault Megane. The ESET TCR series runs under the official banner of TCR, which is an interesting opportunity for us. We will enter the series with two cars, one for me and one for Franjo Kovac.

Your Renault Megane debut will be at Red Bull Ring, which you know very well. What are your ambitions?
We expect great competition. I’ve heard that there will be really lots of fast drivers, with top cars and professional teams. Our target is to finish on the podium. There’s no need to hide our podium ambitions as I’ve been working on the car since the first development.
