Corthals’ WTCC return in his home race

Belgian driver Pierre-Yves Corthals, who was a WTCC regular in 2007 and 2008, will make a one off return to the FIA World Championship on the occasion of his home event at Zolder on June 20th.

Like in 2007 and 2008, Corthals will be driving a petrol-powered SEAT León car run by Luc Marchetti’s Exagon Racing and backed by SEAT Belgique.

“I am absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to make a comeback with Exagon and in the WTCC. Many of the best memories of my racing career are infact linked to this team and this championship. The WTCC is the series that suits the best my idea of motor sport: top-level races in which drivers must fight hard for every fraction of a second. I will give all my best during the Zolder event, because I wish with all my heart to match the expectations of the people who support me in this programme,” said Corthals.
