Sur le papier, il ne s’est pas passé grand-chose lors de la première course de Coupe du monde des voitures de tourisme (WTCR) à Macao, samedi 16 novembre. Le poleman Yvan Muller (Lynk & Co) a préservé son avantage durant l’ensemble des huit tours, devant le leader du championnat, Norbert Michelisz (Hyundai), lequel était également placé deuxième sur la grille.

It was in the wake of the leading duo that the overtaking took place. Yann Ehrlacher and Andy Priaulx (Lynk & Co), played the team race and let Thed Björk, Yvan Muller's teammate in Cyan Racing, pass. The Swede, fifth, falls behind the Frenchman in the general classification.

These instructions did not prevent Norbert Michelisz to increase his accounting advance. The Hungarian takes advantage of Esteban Guerrieri's zero points (Honda, retirement after starting in last place) to have an 18-point lead over the Münnich Motorsport representative.
The podium of this race is completed by Kevin Ceccon (Alfa Romeo). Rob Huff (Volkswagen), record holder for victories in Tourism in Macau, finished fourth. Aurélien Panis (Cupra) finished in 12th place, while Jean-Karl Vernay (Audi, 21st) was involved in a collision with Mikel Azcona (Cupra) and Benjamin Leuchter (Volkswagen).
