TCR International Series
In 2015, Alexey Dudukalo took part in one stage of the TCR International Series. The joint stage of the international and Russian TCR was held in Sochi and the team announced Alexei in both championships. Due to different rules in TCR International and TCR Russia, mechanics had to change tires, fuel and reconfigure the car after each race. A tightly drawn up schedule did not make it possible to fine-tune the car for two championships, so priority was given to the Russian TCR. For this reason, Alexei’s SEAT Leon was inferior to the cars of the international championship in direct speed and cornering stability.
