Shell Teamwork to field three Lynk & Co cars in TCR Asia

Shell Teamwork Lynk & Co Racing will be back for the 2021 season with a line-up of three Lynk & Co 03 cars for the TCR Asia series. The Hong Kong-based squad will feature an all-champions trio of Ma Qing Hua, Sunny Wong Yat Shing, and Jason Zhang Zhi Qiang.
The team is signposting its intentions to follow up on its successful 2020 TCR China championship season, where it won the drivers' title with Ma Qing Hua, and the historic Macau Guia Race with Zhang, becoming the first team to win the event with a driver from China. The third driver confirmed for the team is Wong, the 2018 TCR China champion.
The team will contest the TCR Asia International Series in 2021, the first round of which is scheduled to take place at the Shanghai International Circuit on May 7-9.

Ma Qing Hua said: "2020 was a great year for me to win the TCR China title, and it feels good to be back to defend my title. We know the competition will be tough, but with one of the best teams in China, and perhaps the best touring car out there, I know we have a good shot."

Zhang said: "It's a great opportunity for me to contest the whole season with Shell Teamwork Lynk & Co Racing. I've come close to winning a few touring car titles in China, but have just missed out each time, but the momentum will be with me after winning Macau."

Wong said: "To miss out on a year of racing last year was tough, but it was really exciting to get to be back in the car at Macau, and to pick up a podium in what's probably the toughest touring car race in the world was a great achievement for me. It's an exciting challenge to be a part of the Shell Teamwork Lynk & Co Racing programme this year."
