Coming off the back of their fourth win of the season in Thailand with local driver Tin Sritrai, ART will be looking to cement their position at the top of the TCR Asia Series Teams table, to add to Avila’s single win at Sepang (in his only start in TCR Asia), team-principal Philippe Descombes’ double victories in Malaysia and Sritrai’s victory at Buriram. Currently they lead the Teams Championship on 210 points, from rivals Prince Racing (152) and Roadstar Racing (147) with two races remaining.
