Honda domination in TCR Chinese Taipei season opener

GH-Team AAI picked up where they left off in 2022 by dominating the opening round of TCR Chinese Taipei at Lihpao, where they headed an all-Honda podium.

Tang Weifeng and Shi Shiwei qualified on pole position and recovered to win, despite a 20-second ‘handicap’ penalty at their mandatory driver change. Liu Weizhi drove solo to second in the sister car while KOE Racing’s Zhuang Jishun and Cai Zhangda were third.

Liming Racing’s Gao Zilong and Wu Yizhan won Class B, also in a Honda Civic Type R.
