Pepe Oriola
crosses the
Anderson Bridge
on the Singapore River
dings, but has closed the gap on
Oriola to just 12 points. He attribu-
ted his successful weekend to his
love for street circuits – a fact worth
remembering, since the final round,
in Macau, is another street track...
The winner of the second Singapore
race was Mikhail Grachev in a We-
stCoast Racing Honda Civic – his
fourth victory of the season. Despite
the wins, Grachev (8th) and his te-
ammate Gianni Morbidelli (6th) are
effectively out of the running for the
title as, despite there being 110
points still up for grabs, their mathe-
matical chances of winning depend
on the leading quartet all failing to
win in the final four races of the sea-
son. Based on their performances so
far this year, that's unlikely, to say
the least.
One thing we have learnt from Thai-
land and Singapore is the 2016 TCR
Drivers' title will be fought over by
four men – two from Leopard Racing
in Volkswagen cars and two from
Craft-Bamboo Lukoil in SEAT cars.
Others, including Mat'o Homola,
Dušan Borkovi
ć
and Morbidelli, may
well be fighting for race wins, but
with the top four now covered by just
28 points, we're guaranteed to see
another great fight for the title in
both Sepang and Macau.
