Michael Markussen will join the TCR Europe grid for this weekend’s second event at Spa-Francorchamps, racing a Honda Civic Type-R run by the RC2 Racing Team.
The Dane will get behind the wheel of a fourth RC2 Civic, partnering Spaniard siblings Felipe and Victor Fernández, and Hong Kong’s Victor Chan.
After five years racing in TCR Denmark, where he won four races and started the third-most number of races, Markussen moved to TCR Spain for the 2025 season, continuing his winning ways and claiming victory at Jerez on his way to fifth overall in the drivers’ standings.
The 34-year-old has yet to race in any TCR series in 2026, but will make his début in TCR Europe this weekend.
“I’m really looking forward to being on the grid in TCR Europe this year after a season with RC2 Racing Team in TCR Spain where I learned a lot from their huge experience,” said Markussen.
“We’re eager to enter the European TCR theatre to test our speed against the most competitive field I have ever raced against.
“It will be a huge learning curve for me, especially as we’re only doing selected races, and entering the series from the second race.
“Spa-Francorchamps is probably one of the most exciting tracks, and a big task for me to make my first TCR Europe race start there.
“I’m hugely excited for the upcoming weekend, to see my friends at RC2 again, and giving it my all.”
