The sixth World Touring Car Championship gets underway in Monza Italy, on March 24. Team owner Franz Engstler, has been involved since the beginning of this racing series.
“At over 50 and with his motor sport experience he is practically a part of the furniture at the WTCC,” jokes team manager Kurt Treml. Charles Kaki Ng drive the second car. The Hong Kong native debuted in this racing class in 2012.
“The first year was about gaining experience,” says Treml. In the final races of last season a clear upward tendency could be recognised. We want to support Charles in his development in order to ensure he fulfils his driving potential.” The team will continue to race in the private driver category.
Liqui Mpy Marketing Manager Peter Baumann also sees potential in the cooperation with Motorsport Engstler in the World Touring Car Championship. “ In sporting terms, we have experienced a maximum in emotions in five years of WTCC. After a mixed 2012 we want to compete in the highest ranks again this season.”
Away from the purely sporting events, Baumann is also more than satisfied with the brand image: “The World Touring Car Championship is not a sterile race track, but a motor sport you can touch. And we have a congenial brand ambassador in the Engstler Team .”
