Nicolas Baert confirmed for second season with Comtoyou Racing

Nicolas Baert has been confirmed for a second season in TCR Europe with Comtoyou Racing, where he will race an Audi RS3 LMS alongside Tom Coronel and Dušan Borković.

Baert, son of Team Principal Jean-Michel Baert, finished third overall in last year’s championship, whilst also clinching the Rookie champion honours and the TCR Benelux accolade.

The Belgian claimed his first win in only his second event, winning race one at Zolder, whilst visiting the podium on one other occasion when he was third at Monza.

Baert put together a highly consistent campaign which saw him finish ten of the season’s 12 races, with all ten finishes being inside the top ten in each race.

The 19-year-old also took part in the first FIA World Touring Car Cup event at Aragón last year as a wildcard entry, where he claimed a best finish of 11th in race three.

“I’m competitive, so if we once again start fighting it out with 20 or 25 cars it can but motivate even more,” said Baert.

“Allow me also to congratulate the organisers of TCR Europe on being able to bring together such a strong field of competitors in these difficult times.

“The title in that field is the ambition, because improving on last year’s bronze medal implies finishing first or second.

“A sportsman wants to win, so the title is indeed my target. I obviously can no longer defend my Rookie title, but if possible, I would love to win the TCR Benelux again, it is a and remains a title on one’s record of achievements.”
