Estonian race driver Ruben Volt is gearing up for the opening round of the TCR Europe series this weekend at the Mugello circuit in Italy. Competing for the ALM Motorsport team in a Honda Civic Type R FL5 TCR, Volt finished seventh overall last season and enters this new season with high expectations. He expressed his goal of aiming for the championship title, remarking, "There is no point in setting lower goals for myself," reflecting his confidence and determination to improve on last year's performance.

Last season was a mixed bag for Volt as the first half was marred by misfortune, but he ended on a positive note, which he hopes to carry into the upcoming races. He noted that no manufacturer has introduced newer technology this season, allowing him to continue racing in the same Honda he used previously, which could contribute to his familiarity with the car. A notable change this season is his new teammate, Max Hart, who finished just behind Volt in the overall standings last year, indicating a competitive team dynamic.

The TCR Europe series calendar for this year includes six events, with only the races at Spa and Barcelona confirmed to take place. As the championship kicks off, all eyes will be on Volt and his performance, especially following his previous season's strong finish and the high expectations set for him this year. Fans and followers are eager to see if he can turn those expectations into reality on the racetrack.
