The grid for the third edition of the TCR European Endurance continues to grow, with TEXACO Team AMS confirming another driver for its 2026 line-up. Turkish racer Sinan Çiftçi, now a well-established name in the series promoted by RIZA International, will return to the championship at the wheel of a Gen-2 car.
The 39-year-old made his series debut during the inaugural 2024 season, immediately making his mark by securing a Gen-1 class victory and an impressive second place overall at the Slovakiaring.
In 2025, the Turkish driver competed in every round of the championship in the Gen-1 category — with the sole exception of Vallelunga, where he raced in Gen-2 machinery — eventually clinching the Gen-1 title. For the 2026 season, Çiftçi is set to contest the full campaign in the TCR European Endurance with a Gen-2 car, a step that will allow him to fight for the overall positions at the front of the field.
The 2026 TCR European Endurance season will kick off on April 19th at the Vallelunga circuit, before moving to the Slovakiaring on June 7th and Valencia on September 27th. The championship will then conclude with a spectacular night race at Misano on November 15th.
