BF Motorsport confirms Audi RS3 TCR for the 2026 TCR European Endurance

BF Motorsport will continue its project in the TCR European Endurance for the 2026 season. The team founded by Imerio Brigliadori will once again enter the endurance touring car series promoted by RIZA International with the Audi RS3 TCR, aiming to play a leading role in the fight for the titles.

The Gambettola-based squad is ready to relaunch its ambitions. Yuri Brigliadori, the youngest member of the racing dynasty and main driver of the #3 Audi RS3 TCR in 2025, saw his championship lead slip away after an unfortunate outcome in the first stage at Misano, the final round of the calendar. This came after he had held the top position in the standings during the first half of the season, thanks to remarkable consistency that included three consecutive podium finishes.

During the 2025 campaign, Yuri Brigliadori shared the car with Alessandro Alcidi (Mugello and Vallelunga), Giuseppe Cartia (Slovakiaring), and Eric Brigliadori—already the 2024 TCR European Endurance Champion—who joined his younger brother for the Misano round.

While the final driver line-up for the 2026 TCR European Endurance season—set to run jointly with the GTC Endurance Challenge starting from the Vallelunga round—has yet to be confirmed, one certainty is the technical package: BF Motorsport will continue to field the Audi RS3 LMS Gen2, the latest model from the Ingolstadt manufacturer. With this car, the team will compete both in the classification for second-generation sequential gearbox cars and in the overall standings.

Building on the experience gained in touring car racing since 2016, which includes a runner-up finish in the 2020 TCR Italy championship, BF Motorsport approaches the 2026 season with the goal of securing its first victory in the TCR European Endurance, starting from the opening round at Vallelunga on April 19.
