The 30-year-old Chinese gave way to Tiago Monteiro during the Suzuka (Japan) event in mid-October. “Having spent this period of adaptation to the Honda will allow me to get into the rhythm more quickly in Macau. With Boutsen Ginion Racing, we have already finished in the top 10 (7th in Race 3 in Wuhan), so we want to continue to progress. »

Tiago Monteiro, arriving at the points gate at Suzuka, respected the doctors' advice to skip Macau, considered one of the most dangerous circuits in the world. The risk of suffering an accident and injuring himself a year after his violent crash in private testing convinced him to stay behind.

“This will be our first time in Macau, continues Team Manager Olivia Boutsen. Having Ma and Tom in the stable (Coronel), who know the circuit well, it will be a great asset. » Ma Qing Hua set the fastest lap during the Main Race of the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) in Macau in 2017, in a Citroën C-Élysée of Sébastien Loeb Racing.
