FCP Euro Partners with Corteco for The 2019 TC America Championship

Milford, CT, January 29, 2019 --(PR.com)-- After a successful inaugural season finishing third overall in
the TCR class of the Pirelli World Challenge, FCP Euro is partnering with Corteco for the re-branded TC
America Championship in 2019. The team will again compete with their two 2018 Volkswagen GTI
TCRs. FCP Euro's Marketing and Brand Director, Michael Hurczyn, will pilot the #71 while 2018 TCR
Class Rookie of the Year and FCP Euro Director of Motorsport, Nate Vincent, will pilot the #72 towards
their second season of professional touring car racing.

"FCP Euro provides a fun platform for Corteco to highlight its product offering in their race cars," says
Corinne Ross, Commercial Director at Freudenberg-NOK. "FCP Euro is a great promoter of their key
vendors. This opportunity came at a critical time for us, as we work to raise general brand awareness and
a strong following for our OE products. FCP Euro won't sell you anything they wouldn't put on or in their
own cars and Corteco shares those same convictions. Our pedigree in OE sealing, cabin air filters, and
vibration control validates the claim that we extend that philosophy on toward our customers."

Excitement is high leading into the 2019 season for both Corteco and FCP Euro. The TC America
Championship TCR class is splitting into two classes for the new season; the first being a full global-spec
TCR class for cars with sequential gearboxes, and the second being a TCR Cup solely for the Audis and
Volkswagens running DSG gearboxes. The FCP Euro Volkswagen GTI TCRs will be in the former
category, after taking delivery of two brand-new sequential transmissions to compete with other
manufacturers at the front of the pack for the top spot.

“We have coined 2019 as the 'Year of the Experience' at FCP Euro," explained Michael Hurczyn,
Marketing and Brand Director for FCP Euro and the driver of the #71 Volkswagen GTI TCR. "We take
our team on the road and look forward to meeting our customers from across the country who can't make
it out to our local events. Our paddock is always open to anyone who wants to share this journey with us
while we fight for the podium in the 2019 season."

Corinne Ross adds, "Motorsports is a new avenue with massive growth potential that Corteco can take
advantage of. We look forward to being in front of FCP Euro customers and enthusiasts who share in the
total experience during the race weekends. FCP Euro brings energy to every event they're at; their booth
was consistently one of the busiest during last years Pirelli World Challenge, and will be a staple in TC
America paddock this year. They were extremely competitive in their inaugural season and the
opportunity to sponsor a winning team for this upcoming season was too great to pass up."

The FCP Euro GTI TCRs are blank canvases awaiting new liveries to represent their 2019 TC America
partners.
