Twelve months ago, the TCR
International Series headed for its
final race weekend with three
drivers still in the running to take
the inaugural title. This time,
Macau will see a four-way fight for
the trophy between two pairs of
teammates, with two car brands -
SEAT and Volkswagen - represented
in that fight.
James Nash has a lead of 17 points
over last year’s champion, Stefano
Comini. In third place, a further 16
points adrift, is Nash’s Craft-
Bamboo Lukoil teammate Pepe
Oriola while fourth is Comini’s
Leopard Racing colleague Jean-Karl
Vernay who is 39 points off the
lead. Both Oriola and Vernay have
acknowledged that the title is all
but beyond them and so both have
pledged to help their teammates,
but Macau is widely regarded as
being a complete lottery and
impossible to predict and so the
pair aren’t out of the fight just
yet…
