The TCR International Series has reached its final Asian leg, with 4 races on an upcoming schedule. Mato Homola,currently 5th in the overall ranking, will fight this weekend on the Chang International Circuit Buriram, which is the first stop of this leg.
The season is going very good for the young Slovak driver Mato Homola, and continues this weekend with its last part. There are last 4 racing weekends ahead, beginning with Thailand this weekend. The season continues with 2 joint races with the F1 in Singapore and Malaysia. The last weekend will be held in Macau, in the half of November.
Mato is currently on the 5th position, with just 23 points to the leader. The fight for the title is still strong, with 220 points in stake till the end of the season.
“I am really looking forward to getting into my car after the summer period. I really like the Buriram track, I watched several onboard videos and played it on the simulator as well. It has many turns in very good rhythm, so let’s see, what the reality will be, as there is still monsoon period now. We have an additional testing session on Friday, thanks to which I will be able to get to know the track even better.”
The Chang International Circuit, with its 4,554 km has been finished just at the end of 2014 and it has hosted WTCC and TCR International Series events in 2015 since. German engineer Hermann Tilke was responsible for its design, with curious job – to make most of the track visible from the main grandstand. And yes, he managed.
