Richard: A special Hyundai for everyday use
SERIAL DUPLICATE Kris Richard is currently the fastest Hyundai driver in Switzerland. As in the TCR Europe, the man from Berne now also drives an i30 N in private, which looks like his race touring car.

Shortly before round 4 of the TCR Europe in Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium, where rounds 5 and 6 of the season will be held next weekend, touring car driver Kris Richard from Thun was also able to take delivery of a Hyundai i30 N for everyday use.
This looks very similar to his touring car, with which he is on the road on Europe's racetracks. The design and foiling was done by the company Designreich in Spiez.
Gesture of his sponsor Kröpfli
The car is provided to him by Garage Kröpfli from Faulensee BE. Remo and Franziska Kröpfli sponsor the 23-year-old from Thun as part of the TCR Europe and presented him with a road version of his race touring car on Wednesday.
Kris Richard is allowed to use this tamer, but for his purposes sufficiently spirited series model for a year free of charge in everyday life and for his long trips to the race tracks.
Kris Richard: "Absolutely super, a sensational gesture. I am very happy that Remo and Franziska Kröpfli support me so generously. Of course, I will return the car in one piece in one year - and not only the steering wheel..."
Just don't attract negative attention...
The touring car driver is also pleased with the special look of his new private car.
Kris Richard: "The car looks sensational, exactly in the colors of my race car and with all the sponsor stickers on it. Of course, I'm aware that from now on I'll have to be particularly careful with this prominent livery. Negative publicity is out of the question, of course. But when I'm on the road privately, I stick pretty much exactly to the speed limits. It's a different story on the racetracks, of course - there, the only motto for me is 'full speed ahead'."
