Monlau Motul Technical School approached the final round of the 2025 TCR Spain season aiming for a strong finish, and they succeeded. In a Racing Weekend with two fronts for the team – TCR Spain and Spanish F4 – they secured the constructors’ championship for the third consecutive year after a double victory at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, as well as the Junior Trophy win with Èric Gené.
The Barcelona-based team fielded a lineup of champions for this final round, driving CUPRA León VZ TCRs: Briton Jenson Brickley, the recent 2025 TCR Europe drivers’ champion; Spaniard Èric Gené, the 2025 TCR Europe Youth champion; and fellow Briton Adam Shepherd, the reigning TCR UK champion, who joined the team for the final round.
Saturday’s qualifying session confirmed the pace of the Monlau Motul drivers. Gené secured pole position with a time of 1:50.456, followed by Brickley, who stopped the clock at 1:50.510, just 54 thousandths of a second behind his teammate. Shepherd, meanwhile, set the eighth fastest time (1:51.403).
In the first race, Gené capitalized on his pole position to take the lead from the start and deliver a flawless performance that led him to victory. Brickley, in second place, played a crucial role in the Spaniard’s championship hopes, keeping Gené’s title rival behind him throughout the race. Despite the combined efforts of the two riders, Brickley’s third-place finish was enough to mathematically secure the title for Gené. Shepherd finished fifth.
With the title already decided, the Monlau Motul riders put on another impressive display on Sunday. The inverted grid placed Shepherd in third position, from where he made a spectacular start that put him in the lead. The Briton managed the pressure from the second-placed driver throughout the race and crossed the finish line in first position, securing the team’s second victory of the weekend.
Gené also had a great start, moving from tenth to eighth place. Both he and Brickley steadily climbed through the field to finish sixth and fifth, respectively. These results allowed the Spaniard to clinch the Junior Trophy title and cap off a season in which he achieved two wins, two pole positions, and three podium finishes. He also finished as runner-up in the overall TCR Spain championship. Brickley consolidated his third-place finish in the overall championship and second among the Juniors.
David Simón , team manager of Monlau Motul, reflected on a very positive year for the team:“We are very pleased with the results in Barcelona and throughout the season. Having Adam Shepherd, the TCR UK champion, on board allowed us to secure a victory. We also won another team title, and Èric was crowned Junior Trophy champion, so we are very proud of the year we had. Teamwork throughout the season has been key to our results. The synergy between Gené and Brickley has been impeccable; the team has always been the priority, with no individualism. I want to thank engineer Victor Martínez, who has been in charge of our project in TCR Spain, all the mechanics and the rest of the technical staff, as well as the TCR Spain promoters, for the excellent work that has made possible a high-level championship, with 18 cars on the track and an ideal platform for the development of young drivers.”
Jaime Serrano , CEO of Monlau Motul, praised the team’s performance: “We have concluded an extraordinary season. We retained the TCR Spain constructors’ title, achieved two wins out of two possible in Barcelona, secured pole position for Gené, and won the Junior Championship. Brickley finished third in the overall standings, and we have capped off a year full of success. The credit belongs to the entire team: Monlau Motul’s drivers, engineers, and mechanics have worked with dedication, and these results reflect their effort, commitment, and professionalism.”
With this race, Monlau Motul culminates an extraordinary year in which it has won the constructors’ title in both TCR Spain and TCR Europe, in addition to the TCR Europe drivers’ and Youth championships, the TCR Spain Junior championship, and the runner-up position in the Spanish drivers’ championship. A flawless end to a successful season that reinforces the growth of the team’s sporting and development program and positions it as a benchmark in TCR.
