An amazing weekend for B-Quik Absolute Racing in the TSS The Super Series support races at the Singapore Grand Prix as Tanart Sathienthirakul won both races.
In
fact, the Thai driver, on his fifth visit to the Singapore night race
but his first time in a GT3 car as well as his first time in the Audi R8
LMS GT3 evo II, made light work of these challenges and to see off his
on-track rivals.
He claimed pole position for both races, was never too troubled during
the races themselves and capped it all off by also topping Friday’s
practice session. A clean sweep on the Marina Bay Street Circuit. A
hugely impressive weekend. But that was the icing on the cake as all our
drivers performed like heroes on these tough and demanding streets.
Vincent Lin really stood out in the #27 Audi R8 LMS GT3 evo II. Having
marked himself as one to look out for thanks to podiums in China's GT
Super Sprint Challenge and some real flashes of promise during the
previous round of TSS, he delivered in some style on the streets here, a
second and third place in Race 1 and 2, respectively, was an excellent
way leave Singapore and we will be hearing a lot more about him in the
future.
Sun Jingzu (#13 Porsche) and Vincent Floirendo (#55 Audi) were very
evenly matched over the two races and they both walked away well
rewarded, the former got a P4 and P5 to his name while the Fillippino
added a P5 and P6.
The fourth Audi on the roster also had a terrific weekend, Henk Kiks
clearly capitalising on the track knowledge he picked up last year as he
finished P7 in Race 1 and then went one place better in Race 2.
Anderson Tanoto (#11 Porsche 911 GT3 R), however, had a tough weekend in
on these unforgiving streets and he ended up in the wars in both races
when high podium finishes were beckoning, a tyre deflation in Race 1
dropping him out of the top ten while contact with another car in the
second race saw him retiring.
The
HEHEHE Racing drivers, 'Magic Bear' and Steven Zhou, regular
participants in the GT Super Sprint Challenge series, acquitted
themselves well in their first overseas race with B-Quik Absolute Racing
Porsche Cayman GT4s. Keeping it neat and tidy they were rewarded with
trips to the GTC podium in both races.
