The
Final Leg
begins
Following the two races at Sochi in
Russia, the TCR International Series
took an eight-week break before the
drivers, teams and TCR staff regroup
in Thailand for the first of four
events in the Far East that will decide
the various TCR titles. Over a third of
the season still lies ahead, so those
final four events will provide a real
sting in the tail for the competitors.
First comes the pair of races at Buri-
ram, the Thai circuit that saw the ho-
nours shared between Stefano Comini
and Pepe Oriola in 2015, with each
claiming one race victory. In addi-
tion, pole position went to Gianni
Morbidelli, so all three drivers will be
eager to return to the Chang Interna-
tional Circuit.
Mid-September sees arguably the
season’s most spectacular setting –
the Marina Bay street circuit in Sin-
gapore. Supporting the Formula One
Singapore Grand Prix once again, one
of two night races in the TCR calen-
dar provides one of the highlights of
the season. We are guaranteed to see
a new name added to list of Singa-
pore race winners as neither of the
2015 victors – Kevin Gleason and
Jordi Gené – is scheduled to take
part this year.
