Baltinglass’s Motorsport Superstar and Ireland’s Young Driver of The Year Max Hart recently announced his plans for the 2025 season.
He will compete in the 2025 TCR Europe Series with Target Competition and Hyundai Motorsport. Max will be driving the Hyundai Elantra N TCR, an upgraded version of the car he drove successfully in Asia over the past two seasons. His transition to the big leagues series has been made possible with sponsorship from O’Driscoll’s Irish Whiskey. The prize for winning the 2025 TCR title is free entry for the 2026 TCR World Tour, and that is very much the aim for 2026.
In a recent facebook post Max was quoted: “I’m delighted to finally announce my plans for 2025. TCR Europe races on some fantastic tracks, three of which are F1 Circuits. It is great to have increased support from O’Driscoll’s Irish Whiskey too, and for a number of reasons.
“To have an Irish sponsor to showcase on the European stage is very exciting. One of the reasons I have chosen the TCR Europe Series also though, is the prize for the winner of an entry and tyre deal for the 2026 Kumho FIA TCR World Tour.”
We wish Max the very best of luck in his next race in Portimao on April 26/27.
