Gabriele Tarquini took part in all of the Sunred team's latest testing sessions. According to witnesses, he then acted as coaches for newcomers (Dudukalo and the young Oriola in particular). Joan Orus, the boss of the Spanish team which fields the old official Seat Leon TDIs, had not hidden his intention to keep the Italian, as had Tiago Monteiro.

If the latter should soon be made official, “Gaby” now has the certainty of being part of it in Brazil thanks to the generous sponsor of Dudukalo, a 35-year-old Russian. “ Last year, I helped him when he competed in the Seat Leon Eurocup. I am happy to now be able to guide him in the WTCC “, confided Tarquini.

Remember that in addition to Tarquini and Dudukalo, and pending confirmation from Monteiro, the team will also field Freddy Barth, Michel Nykjaer and “Pepe” Oriola.
