Hong Kong’s new Roadstar Racing is the first Asia-based team to announce its involvement in the maiden season of the TCR Asia Series that begins at Zhuhai International Circuit (China) on August 14.
Roadstar Racing was established by Kenneth Ma, a former China Touring Car Champion and the man behind Formula Racing Development [FRD] Motorsports.
Currently plans are for the Roadstar Racing Team to campaign three SEAT León Cup Racer cars for the 2015 season, although they have chosen not to reveal the names of the three drivers entered in the historic first season of the new TCR concept just yet.
“This is fantastic news ahead of the start of our season at Zhuhai in August,”TCR Asia Series promoter David Sonenscher admitted. “Hot on the heels of the announcement that Liqui Moly Team Engstler will enter our maiden season, it’s great that the first of our local teams has revealed its intentions to be a part of what will be a very exciting future for Asian motorsport. Things are still progressing strongly off the back of a great start to the TCR International Series in recent weeks with interest in the category growing each day.”
“We’re very excited to play a part in the very first season of TCR Asia Series,”Kenneth Ma admitted. “We can see the value of being a part of a global concept like this that will only expand and get bigger, so we made the choice to join the maiden season and enjoy the values of that expansion right from the very beginning.”
