Tuder Motorsport has confirmed its presence in the TCR European Endurance for the 2026 season. The Todi-based team from the province of Perugia will continue its campaign in the touring car endurance series promoted by RIZA International, once again fielding the Audi RS3 TCR equipped with a DSG gearbox.
After closing an intense 2025 season marked by close battles in the DSG class, the Umbrian outfit returns to the grid buoyed by strong results. The team finished the championship with second and third place in the DSG category, as well as third overall in the teams’ standings. These achievements were also made possible by the work of brothers Alessio and Alessandro Alcidi, who played a key role both as team managers and drivers.
Looking ahead to 2026, Tuder Motorsport aims to take a further step forward, focusing on the Audi RS3 DSG that was raced last season by the pairing of Emilio Damante and Edoardo Maccari, who ended the year as DSG class runners-up. Although the Ingolstadt-built car has no longer received direct factory support for several seasons, with Audi now focused on its Formula 1 programme, it remains one of the most competitive and widely used platforms in TCR racing — a status further confirmed by the TCR European Endurance.
With the Four Rings brand, the team will therefore set its sights on the DSG title. Backed by extensive experience in touring car competition and past success in championships such as the Mini Challenge and the Eurocup Clio, the Alcidi brothers are determined to make their mark in the international series promoted by Mauricio Slaviero.
The 2026 season will get underway on the weekend of April 19th at the Vallelunga circuit, followed by rounds at the Slovakiaring and Valencia, before returning to Italy for the finale at Misano on November 15th. Vallelunga and Misano are particularly favourable venues for Tuder Motorsport, having hosted the team’s two DSG class victories during the 2025 season.
