Harrison will also be joined on the grid by BTCC contender James Kaye who steps into a GR Asia SEAT Toledo Cupra R, while a number of Asia Touring Car Championship contenders will also be taking their place on the grid, including a Civic Type-R of Lei Chong Seng, three BMWs of Ao Chi Hong, Paul Poon and Peter Scharmach, while Hironori Takeuchi will be racing in a Toyota Altezza.
However, while the grid will be filled to the brim with new contenders, the championship remains undecided, even if, Marc Hennerici is on the verge of taking the series on his debut, despite only scoring two points in Spain. The German currently holds a healthy 15 point lead over Giuseppe Ciró, who has moved into runner-up position thanks to a run of five second place finishes, even if the Italian driver is still lacking a victory this year.
Still, he remains just two points ahead of Tom Coronel, the Dutchman’s late bid for the title being ruined by bad luck in the last four races, while Carl Rosenblad and Stefano D’Aste are looking to cement BMWs position as the car to have in the championship.
It is testament to the WTCCs competitiveness and unpredictability that despite the many different winners and many different incidents that have occurred over the 18 races, the championship remains undecided. With little to choose between Müller, Priaulx and Giovanardi, the final races at Macau will be a fascinating straight fight between the trio.
However, with a bulging grid of drivers, some with experience and some without, coupled to the tracks famous ability to punish a single mistake, the races promise to be some of the most explosive seen this year. This is a championship that will only be decided when the chequered flag falls at the end of the second race and not a moment before then...
