Chariya Nuya is ready to defend his Thai title

The third season of TCR Thailand kicks off this weekend at Sepang. The series will be run on four race meetings, the first three of them in conjunction with TCR Asia.
The 2017 champion Chariya Nuya is ready to defend his title at the wheel of a Honda Civic run by the Billionaire Boys Racing.

“I worked out on an intense programme to fit myself better than ever. And I hope this it will help me, because defending the title is more difficult than winning it the first time. I know that the other drivers and teams have prepared well and they all want to beat me, but eventually the winner will belong to the team that has worked better and will make the least mistakes during the season. I’d like to invite the fans to follow and cheer for my team and I hope they will enjoy the show,” said the reigning champion.

Competition for Nuya will come from a couple of newcomers: the 2017 Thai Super 2000 champion Pattarapol Vongprai who will also drive a Honda Civic, but for the Vattana Motorsport, and Jakraphan Davee (a front runner in the Thai Super Production) in an Alphafactory Racing Team SEAT León.
Fans’ favourite Nattanid Leewattanavaragul returns to the series in a SEAT entered by the Morin Racing Team; in 2017 she became the first lady driver to win a TCR race when she took victory at Bangsaen.
