“Additionally, I’m also happy to announce that I won’t be going to the races alone, as my ex-engineer Jaro Krajči is coming back to guide me. We share great memories together and he was there for me when I had a lot of success in my race career.”

Having raced against Hyundai customer teams like BRC Racing and M Racing YMR in WTCR last year, Homola now has the chance to compete in one and he is excited to get underway.

“Last year my goal was to be in the top ten, which looked like a mission impossible several times. Now we’ve got it all for fighting for the European title!”
