Racing Spirit Co. Ltd. announced that it has reached agreement to become the exclusive promoter of TCR for Thailand.
On the occasion of a two day TCR Official Working Group in Barcelona, Spain, the agreement was signed by Marcello Lotti, CEO of WSC Ltd. (promoter of TCR International Series), and Paritat Bulbon, Managing Director of Racing Spirit.
Racing Spirit will market the new series in Thailand, with immediate effect, before a new championship, TCR Thailand, becomes a part of the Thailand Super Series in 2016.
Paritat Bulbon said: “TCR is a very exciting new format that is set to take Touring Car racing into the future and I believe that on all levels it will be a very good fit for Thailand and serve to move us in the direction we want to go. It has been very productive to meet the other promoters this week, there is a lot of enthusiasm, and clearly we share a lot of common goals. That means we can achieve a clear global standard for rules and regulations that will provide stability and lead to evenly matched racing, as well as providing a robust and cost effective platform for all stakeholders. We have a great deal of experience promoting Touring Car racing at the top level in Thailand I now look forward to presenting the new TCR format to our drivers and teams and I think everyone is going to be very positively motivated by the new concept.”
