What Happened
The TCC Winter Challenge is a winter racing series derived from the German Touring Car Challenge, held at the Ascari Race Resort in southern Spain. Organized with Gedlich Racing, the event includes four races and many hours of free practice, with participants driving Porsche, McLaren, BMW, Radical, and Artega cars. Donkervoort used the weekend for extensive testing of new developments on the prototype D8 GTO, and the direct achievement of victory during two of the races confirmed both the speed and performance of these upgrades.
For Donkervoort, the event is part of the Donkervoort Endless Season, where drivers can combine track days, racing, and touring using the Arrive & Drive principle—no need to adapt the car. The collaboration allows a perfect weekend for every driver, with options to participate in one or more TCC Winter Challenge races alongside relaxing drives in the Malaga region.
