THE YOUNG GERMAN DRIVER STAKES A CLAIM ON THE TITLE
For the third consecutive year Luca
Engstler began the season in winning
mode. After claiming victory in the
inaugural race of TCR Middle East in 2017
and in last year’s 24H Dubai, the young
German is currently dominating the new
TCR Malaysia championship. He has
actually staked a serious claim on the
inaugural title after two-thirds of the
series, having won all four races held so
far at Sepang International Circuit in his
Hyundai i30 N.
The 18-year old Engstler has already
built a margin of 41.5 points in the
standings over his teammate Kai Jordan,
with 55 still on offer in the third and
final event that will take place at Sepang
again on February 23/24, meaning that
he’s just one step away from adding a
third TCR crown to those clinched last
year in TCR Asia and TCR Middle East.
