B-Quik Absolute Racing emerged from the opening round of TSS The Super Series 2025 with a stack of podiums and points scoring finishes.
It proved to be something of a tough weekend at Chang International Circuit as the inclement weather conditions all week posed a continuously changing challenge for everyone.
Emerging with all the cars intact and plenty of trophies was a satisfying conclusion even though we looked on course for a win in Sunday’s Race 2, which was in the end agonisingly snatched away.
All eyes were on our new #26 Porsche 911 GT3-R which saw two team regulars, Henk Kiks and Sandy Stuvik, finally paired together for a full season charge. An excellent weekend followed as drivers and engineers worked hard to steadily extract the potential of this machine.
Fourth place in Race 1 set Kiks and Stuvik up for Race 2 where both battled hard in the rainy conditions to go one place better and nab third. Job well done for the #26.
The new #786 Audi R8 LMS GT3 evo II shared by Kiki Sak Nana and Karol Basz started superbly as the pair combined with aplomb to finish third in Race 1, first car home from our roster, a great debut and a sign of the clear talent combining in the cockpit.
However, in Race 2 the cards didn’t fall well. Basz started the car from pole position, earned after a stunning inch perfect qualifying lap, and in intense rain that fell immediately as the grid formed up, he raced away into the lead, a gap that was soon neutralised when the Safety Car was deployed.
Once the Safety Car went back in Basz opened out a cushion again, the Polish driver really at home on the wet track. It all ended agonisingly with a rain light issue and the car was retired from the race. However, this crew really showed their pace all weekend, Nana, whose skill and experience is never in doubt was straight back in the groove, while Basz, on his TSS debut, left his mark.
For the first time we paired two drivers from the B-Quik Junior Programme, Adisak Tangphuncharoen and Sathaporn Veerachure, together in a GT3 car and they enjoyed a very solid weekend in the #27 Audi R8 LMS GT3 evo II.
Veerachure on his GT3 debut had very little track time but they both superbly combined to finish fifth in Race 1 and went one better to grab fourth in Race 2.
Meanwhile, in Super Car GT4 Iaro Razanakoto and Veerachure enjoyed an excellent weekend in the #32 Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport.
Runners up in GT4 AM, as well as fourth overall in Race 1, they went one place better on Sunday to win GT4 AM as well as finish third overall, results that tie them in the lead of the AM championship.
Now B-Quik Absolute Racing attention immediately turns to the big one, the Bangsaen Grand Prix, Round 2 of TSS The Super Series 2025, which comes up in six weeks’ time on 2-6 July.
