With both Jeff and Nick now committed to a full 2022 season, the team is bullish on its chances for a team championship and is poised for what is sure to be an exciting and competitive SRO TC America season.

Hot hatches – The GenRacer Veloster N’s are built to perform and pack a turbo-punch

Jeff and Nick gave their thoughts on the upcoming season:

• Jeff Ricca (#78 Liqui Moly GenRacer Hyundai Veloster N): "2022 should be a great year for us and I am super excited to have Nick on board this year. We both have similar driving styles and engineering backgrounds that will extremely help the program. Wiith nearly two race seasons on this platform, we have gained priceless knowledge and feel very confident that our performance on track will justify the hard work the team has put into the program. And to have Liqui Moly on board again as a partner greatly strengthens our successful aftermarket parts supply business. "

• Nick Barbato (#88 XClutch GenRacer Hyundai Veloster): "I’m absolutely over the moon to have an opportunity to race with GenRacer for the full SRO TC America season. This has been a dream and goal of mine for the better part of a decade and I’m all in to get the best results possible; to win races and go for a championship. We have worked hard in the offseason and I could not ask for a better teammate or crew. I cannot thank them enough – I think we have the talent, passion, speed and work ethic to get the job done this year. Let’s kick things off right in April!”
