Tom Coronel Chevrolet

HAPPY to be in the FIA WTCC again!  Yeaaah here we are, check my new livery! Do you like it???

Proud to announce I'll be racing for ROAL Motorsport and part of the WTCC family again. Many thanks and a very warm welcome to my (new) sponsors

Tom Coronel took to video to confirm his return to the FIA World Touring Car Championship at the WTCC Media Launch at Autodromo Vallelunga tonight.

Coronel, a WTCC racer since its revival in 2005, was unable to attend the media gathering in Italy due to a long-standing family holiday in Austria.

However, he delivered a message to confirm he will continue to race his DHL-branded ROAL Motorsport Chevrolet Cruze. Afterwards he issued this statement: “Never before did it take me so long before I was able to announce my plans in motorsport. It was uncertain until the very end and now, I feel privileged that I am able to announce a further season in the FIA WTCC. I have been racing in this series since it started and many people feel that the FIA WTCC without Tom Coronel is unthinkable.”

Coronel will be a contender for honours in the WTCC Trophy, the category for independent racers.
