WORLD AND LIFE
TCR 2016
The previous race weekend at
Sepang in Malaysia saw victories for
Roberto Colciago and Kevin Gleason,
with all four of the title
protagonists taking useful points
despite the lack of wins. It was
Nash who gained the most from the
weekend – two podium finishes
(third in Race 1 and second in Race
2) meant the British driver left
Sepang with a haul of 33 points,
while Comini (18), Oriola (16) and
Vernay (22) all kept themselves in
the title hunt.
The two race winners came as
something of a surprise, as Colciago
had come out of retirement to win
the TCR Italy title and Gleason has
missed much of the 2016 season
due to budget issues. The fact that
both were able to win races while
the title contenders were left to
scrap for points confirms just how
close this year’s TCR International
Series has become.
