The final round of the 2024 TCR Eastern Europe takes place at the Salzburgring, where this year’s champion will be decided. The battle between Adam Kout and Maťo Homola, teammates from Hyundai Janík Motorsport, began in qualifying.

The fastest driver in a twice red-flagged qualifying session was Adam Kout, which is crucial for his championship chances as he was awarded three points for this result. The second fastest was René Kircher from Mertel Motorsport, and third was Homola, who earned one point. This means the points difference between championship leader Homola and second-placed Kout is now 32 points.

Starting alongside Homola will be Ivars Vallers from the LV Racing team. The third row will feature Kircher’s teammate Davit Kajaia and Žarko Knego from the Autoklub Dubrovnik team. Jiří Zbožínek from Hyundai Janík Motorsport set the seventh-fastest time, with local driver Jorden Dolischka in eighth.

Ninth-fastest was Petr Čížek from Expres Auto Racing, and tenth was Fraňo Dubreta. Giacomo Ghermandi had an incident during qualifying and will start from the back of the grid.
