Thailand:
a historic step for
Thai motorsport
In ten days time TCR Thailand will roar into life for its first-ever race at Buriram and it’s going
to be one of the most highly anticipated debuts of a series in Thai motorsport history.
The interest started to bubble from the moment that Racing Spirit announced that TCR Thailand
would be launched in 2016 and it has grown steadily since.
The championship will have four rounds as part of the Thailand Super Series, the premier series
in the ASEAN region, plus two further non-championship events that will be held in conjunction
with the International and Asia Series. The TCR ‘mania’ really kicked off last month when the
first cars arrived in Thailand. The excitement from fans and media surrounding them was like
no other for a new racing car. A massive buzz was generated instantly across social media.
Buriram’s Chan International Circuit will host the inaugural event with at least ten cars on the
grid from Honda and SEAT.
