Race 2 saw a light-to-flag victory for the
Boutsen-Ginion Honda of Aurélien Panis;
like Michelisz, the French youngster also
taking his maiden TCR International
Series win. Giacomo Altoè, who had
switched from a WestCoast Racing
Volkswagen to a M1RA Racing Honda for
Thailand, finished second and Stefano
Comini finished a relieved third in the
Audi RS 3 LMS.
The dramas and disappointments
of Buriram left Tassi back in the lead
of the Drivers’ series by just two points
from Jean-Karl Vernay, who failed to
finish on the podium in either race.
Comini is still in touch with the leaders,
but is now 14 points down on Tassi while
Colciago’s absence means he slips to
fourth place in the standings. Oriola and
Borkovi
ć
– 5th and 6th – are 69 and 71
points behind the leader. James Nash
and Gianni Morbidelli are mathematically
still in the fight, but realistically the
2017 champion will come from one
of the top six.
In the Teams’ series, M1RA Racing now
have a lead of 93 points over Lukoil Craft-
Bamboo, while Leopard Racing has closed
to within 42 points of second place.
Two more race meetings remain, with the
penultimate round being in Zhejiang in
China on October 7th/8th, where Gabriele
Tarquini and Alain Menu will join with
the new Hyundai i30 N TCR.
