I don't like so much this circuit, but last year we saw great races here.

I think it is such a boring race circuit (especially the vast runoff) but I have only really seen good races here. Simple layout, wide open and a great final turn for overtakes/crashes.

It's sad how weak the Thai Championship is. Usually 7 cars, only 6 this weekend and they dilute it further by splitting it into Pro-Am and Am classes. But I'm looking forward to the event, as I always do with the International Series.

Misfortune for Colciago. M1RA has now to be all-in with Tassi.

Out of interest is Altoé making a one-time appearance at M1RA or is this permanent? Why has he moved across for the weekend?

He also tested an Alfa Giulietta for the Ferraris team before. Maybe Colciago will not recover in time for the next round in China?

But with WestCoast having a replacement driver this suggests it was not a last minute deal. Was Altoé ment to drive the third car but due to injury of Colciago he's in the regular car and Michelisz himself races the third car?

It is of course a possibility, but since they are in a semi livery i think that it might just be spare cars?

Galiana will run the Barcelona 24h this weekend, no chances.

None of the TCR teams brings a spare car to the races. Maybe only Icarus does it.

Pole for Homola, finally a good result from Nash second. Vernay 4th, Tassi 5th, Comini 9th. Bad luck for the Alfas, 1-2 in FP2 but broken suspension for Borković in Q1 and blew down engine for Kajaia in Q2.
