Shell Teamwork Lynk & Co Motorsport will run two Lynk & Co 03 cars in the 2020 TCR China championship for Ma Qing Hua and Lu Wei.
"We're delighted to have secured a very strong TCR China programme in cooperation with Lynk & Co China and Geely Group Motorsport," said Paul Hui, team principal of Teamwork Motorsport. "Ma Qing Hua will play a key role with his vast experience of international racing and his recent promotional work for Lynk & Co’s Chinese sales company."
The programme will be supported by Lynk & Co’s Chinese sales company.
“This programme is an important part for the Lynk & Co China team to support the motorsport development in China. We were very glad to start the virtual season winning the esports title, and now we look forward to the first real racing of 2020 with the TCR China season start,” explained Victor Yang, vice president of Geely Auto Group.
Ma Qing Hua has his sights set high for the coming season: "I am really proud to represent Lynk & Co and Teamwork in TCR China, and I look forward to bring my experience from WTCR to the team. It will definitely be a tough challenge with many strong opponents, but I have full confidence in the team, and I know that the Lynk & Co 03 is a really good car. Our goal is to challenge for the overall titles."
Ma Qing Hua will be partnered by Lu Wei, who raced in the 2019 China GT. "I share my teammate's excitement over joining the team, it is very much a dream come true for me. While I lack the experience of Ma Qing Hua, I think we can work strongly together and fight for the top positions this season."
Ma has already been testing the Lynk & Co 03 this week at the Guangdong International Circuit, where the team is based.
The 2020 TCR China championship season starts with a double-header on August 6th-9th at the Zhuzhou International Circuit.
