How a chance meeting forged a touring car behemoth
A happy accident introduced Abt DTM engineer Albert Deuring to Target Competition - and the result has been domination in the TCR ranks
Had it not been for a chance meeting over the purchase of a trailer in a mid-2000s DTM support paddock, the all-conquering TCR partnership of Italian-based Swiss team Target Competition and star tin-top race engineer Albert Deuring might never have materialised.
Having led Abt Sportsline to five DTM titles between 2002 and 2009 as technical director, Deuring's experience dwarfs that of recently crowned TCR Europe champion Target - run by the Gummerer twins Andreas and Markus - but the devotion to perfection is something both parties share.
