TCR Asia unveiled the 2020 calendar that features a mix of events across Malaysia, China and Thailand, taking in such popular venues as Sepang, Shanghai and the iconic Bangsaen Grand Prix.
The 2020 season will begin off the back of the second season of the TCR Malaysia Championship at Sepang International Circuit. From Malaysia, the Series returns to China for back-to-back events with TCR China in Zhejiang and Shanghai. From China the Series returns to Thailand in mid-July with a third consecutive visit to the popular Bangsaen Grand Prix, with the season concluding on a brand new venue for TCR Asia, the tight and twisty Bira Circuit near Pattaya.
“We’ve had great success in past seasons combining the TCR Asia Series events with those from TCR China and TCR Thailand,” WSC Asia Limited’s David Sonenscher explained. “It has been a bonus for the national championships to run alongside the TCR Asia teams, many of whom have experience at the highest level around the world, whilst for TCR Asia, it’s nice to provide a sense of what TCR was established to achieve - building an opportunity for teams to progress to the various regional series and pave the way to compete in events like the Macau GP and WTCR. We’re pleased to have put together such a good calendar, and we look forward to attracting teams from across the region, and from Europe. There’s a lot of discussion at the moment, and we welcome that, certainly with events like Macau and WTCR continuing to attract attention around the world, it shows that the TCR philosophy is really working and providing a great stepping stone for drivers looking to build an international career.”
