TCR Japan’s new season kicks off at Fuji Speedway

TCR Japan's third season kicks off this weekend at the Fuji Speedway, with a field of ten cars.
Hitotsuyama Racing defends the titles of both the Saturday and the Sunday series that were won by Takuro Shinohara. For this year's campaign, the team has entrusted its Audi RS 3 LMS to Yuki Fujii who topped the time list during the pre-season official test day.
