The inaugural edition of the Shanghai International Circuit 888 Km Endurance race saw four TCR teams competing against a bunch of GTs.
One day after clinching the TCR Asia title on the very same racetrack, Luca Engstler took a class victory at the wheel of a Team Engstler Volkswagen Golf GTI he shared with Diego Moran and Théo Coicaud, his own teammates in TCR Asia and TCR Germany respectively.
The trio completed the race in six hours and twenty-two minutes, covering 148 laps and finishing fourth overall behind three GT cars. They beat the HE Racing Golf GTI of Li Xue Feng and Tian Li Ying (regular competitors in TCR China) by two laps; Li and Tian were classified 6th overall.
The podium was completed by the Elegant Racing Team Cupra of Alex Liu and Kenneth Look that finished 8th overall, 11 laps behind the Engstler Golf.
