## FIA WTCR 2018

Before the end of 2017 season, TCR International Series and FIA WTCC agreed on a mutual collaboration that led to a brand new world championship - FIA WTCR.
Homola, as the only Slovak driver, got into the FIA WTCR starting grid, mainly thanks to the positive relationship with DG Sport Competition. Homola competed in FIA WTCR with brand new Peugeot 308 TCR in Belgian team DG Sport Competition.
Homola placed first on the Vila Real race track in Portugal. During the whole race, he was fighting with 3-time BTCC Champion, Gordon Shedden, and 4-time World Champion, Yvan Muller on Hyundai i30 N TCR. Both of them couldn't pass Homola and he finished in 1st place.
Homola finished the FIA WTCR season in 18th place.
