The event will run to a unique format with all three races taking place on the same day in late afternoon, at dusk and at night under floodlights. Sepang’s 5.543-kilometre lap features two long straights to aid overtaking, plus a variety of medium and high-speed corners. And with the track untried by the bulk of the drivers an exciting spectacle is in store. FROM BEHIND THE WHEEL WITH GABRIELE TARQUINI Ahead of his final race as WTCR / OSCARO title holder, this is what the BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse driver has had to say about the Sepang International Circuit. “We had a short run at the beginning of the season just to discover the track and I’m very pleased with what I experienced. The track size and the design are very nice and the race will be very exciting because it’s very wide with long straights. For sure there will be big fights, big overtaking places and the races will be very nice to see.” 2 PROVISIONAL KEY TIMINGS* Monday 9 December Wildcard testing: 19h00-22h00 Tuesday 10 December Wildcard testing: 09h00-11h00 Kuala Lumpur driving parade and promotional activities (W Hotel and surrounding area): 17h00-21h00 Thursday 12 December Pre-event press conference: 17h00 (Media Centre, Sepang International Circuit), Mitchell Cheah, Norbert Michelisz and Hafizh Syahrin in attendance Friday 13 December Free Practice 1: 10h00-10h45 Free Practice 2: 12h45-13h15 First Qualifying: 15h15-15h45 First Qualifying DHL Media Zone: 15h45 estimated (South Paddock pitlane) Hafizh Syahrin international media group interviews (Media Centre): 17h00-17h30 Second Qualifying Q1: 19h30-19h50 Second Qualifying Q2: 20h00-20h10 Second Qualifying Q3: 20h20 (first car starts top five DHL Pole Position shootout) Second Qualifying DHL Media Zone: 20h20 estimated (South Paddock pitlane) Post-Qualifying press conference: 20h45 estimated (Media Centre) Saturday 14 December Title contenders group interview session (Media Centre): 10h45-11h15 FIM EWC 8 Hours of Sepang: 13h00-21h00 Autograph session (Fan Village stage): 14h00-1500 Esports WTCR OSCARO live final (The RIFT, Third Floor, Mid Valley Megamall): 16h00-21h00 Sunday 15 December Autograph session (Fan Village stage): 12h00-13h00 Race 1: 15h15 (9 laps) Race 1 podium: 15h55 estimated Race 1 press conference: 16h10 estimated (Media Centre) Race 2: 18h15 (9 laps) Race 2 podium: 18h55 estimated Race 3: 20h10 (12 laps) Race 3 podium: 20h50 estimated 3 Race 3 press conference: 21h05 estimated (Media Centre) followed by WTCR / OSCARO title winner group interview session Official WTCR / OSCARO title winner pictures (starting grid): 22h00 *All timings are local (GMT +8 hours) and subject to change 4 SEPANG INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT FACTS AND STATS 1: The Sepang International Circuit opened for business in 1999 after 14 months under construction. 2: It’s located some 45 kilometres from the capital Kuala Lumpur but a mere 11 kilometres from Kuala Lumpur International Airport. 3: The 5.543-kilometre layout, which was resurfaced in 2016, features 15 turns and eight straights. There are also separate North and South circuits, which can be used simultaneously. 4: Sepang was home to the Malaysian Formula One Grand Prix from 1999-2017. Eddie Irvine won the inaugural race for Ferrari with Max Verstappen taking victory in the final event driving a Red Bull. 5: KCMG WTCR / OSCARO driver Tiago Monteiro took part in two Malaysian Grands Prix, placing P12 in 2005 and P13 the following season. 6: Monteiro’s KCMG colleague Attila Tassi is no stranger to Sepang having placed seventh and ninth when the TCR International Series visited in 2016. 7: Kevin Ceccon and Team Mulsanne WTCR team-mate Ma Qinghua were in action when Sepang hosted GP2 in 2013. Ceccon scored a weekend high of P17 in the Feature Race although illness ruled out Ma from the Sprint Race. 8: Sepang was the setting of the inaugural TCR International Series event in 2015. When TCR International returned in 2016, Jean-Karl Vernay took a pair of fifth-place finishes. Douglas Khoo, one of the wildcards competing in the inaugural WTCR Race of Malaysia finished P15 and P17 in the two counters. 9: Rob Huff was quick out of the blocks when he raced in the opening TCR Malaysia round in January of this year with the Briton claiming pole for the first race. 10: Mitchell Cheah, a wildcard at WTCR Race of Malaysia, joined the TCR Malaysia entry for the final round and won on his debut from pole position. 5 WTCR / OSCARO TITLE BATTLE EXPLAINED With four drivers locked in an epic battle for the 2019 WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup presented by OSCARO, Serbia-based mathematician and statistician Dragoslav Jankovic has assessed the quartet’s form so far this season and offered his expert insight into who needs to do what to win big at the Sepang super-finale in Malaysia next week. Supported by journalist and broadcaster Aleksandar Babic, Jankovic has listed some of the possible outcomes but stressed that “there are too many variables and outcomes, so to describe them all would take an analysis 200 pages long”, adding: “The number of outcomes will be drastically reduced after First and Second Qualifying and Race 1 but it should still remain tight and unpredictable”. Michelisz wins the WTCR / OSCARO title if he… *Wins all three races *Scores 66 points in total (65 points leaves him vulnerable) *Wins two races, takes one DHL Pole Position and one sixth place. That would give him 65 points. In that case, Guerrieri can score no more than 74 points. That would make them tied on 381 points, but Michelisz would become champion on countback based on the number of races won *Wins twice, finishes fourth once and scores at least three qualifying points *Wins one race, finishes second in the other two and scores seven qualifying points *If he tops First Qualifying and wins two races, he needs at least at least sixth position in the other race. Alternatively, he'll be safe from a Guerrieri attack if he finishes lower (seventh, eighth, etc) in the races, but if his Second Qualifying position is better (fifth, fourth, third, second, first) *If he’s second in First Qualifying and wins twice, he needs at least fourth in the other race. Just like in the previous case, he can allow himself a lower finish in the other race – fifth, sixth, etc.

    PRESS RELEASE 5 July 2017 Rounds 13 & 14 – Oschersleben – 8 / 9 July 2017 PREVIEW The TCR International Series returns to Oschersleben The TCR International Series returns to Oschersleben’s Motorsport Arena for the second consecutive year. Built in 1997 and partially modified in 2007, this modern racetrack has always been a favourite of Touring Car drivers for its demanding layout that offers several opportunities to overtake and German fans enjoy the door-to-door battles between the cars. Last year, Mat’o Homola claimed his first TCR win in the first race, beating Dušan Borković and James Nash who finished second and third again in the second race that was won by Pepe Oriola. The SEAT cars dominated the event, as they filled the top-five places in both races. This year the TCR competitors will use the circuit’s older layout that includes the smoother “esses” at the end of the pit straight instead of the sharper left-hander. This is to limit the risk of a pile up at the start and to favour overtaking manoeuvres. Track activity will be concentrated into two days: two Free Practice sessions and the Qualifying on Saturday, with both races on Sunday. TCR at Oschersleben – the event at a glance Lap distance: 3.66 km Race distance: 17 laps Start: standing Grids: determined by Qualifying results (Q1+Q2) with top-10 reversed for Race 2 Timetable: Saturday, 09:15/09:45 Free Practice 1 Saturday, 12:00/12:30 Free Practice 2 Saturday, 15:00/15:35 Qualifying (Q1 + Q2) Sunday, 12:35 Race 1 Sunday, 14:35 Race 2 all times: GMT +2 M1RA drivers Tassi and Colciago defend the top positions The previous event at the Hungaroring turned out very much in favour of Hungary-based M1RA.

    ROUNDS 5 & 6 – SALZBURGRING RACE REPORT TITLE FIGHTS HEAT UP AT HALF SEASON The FIA European Touring Car Cup has passed the half-season mark in Austria and the fight for the different titles is heating up. Winning both races in the TC2T class, despite being pushed at the back of the grid for Race 1 following a technical infringement in qualifying, Nikolay Karamyshev has built a 14-point lead ahead of his team mate Igor Skuz who was eliminated by an incident with a slower car. Michal Matějovský and Christian Fischer took one victory apiece in the TC2 class. However, the reigning champion Petr Fulín has stretched his lead to 22 points over his team-mate Matějovský. In the Single-Make Trophy Aku Pellinen pocketed the maximum score of 23 points (two wins plus the pole position), but thanks to a couple of second places Andreas Pfister remains close, only 11 points behind. Gilles Bruckner disrupted Ulrike Krafft’s winning streak that lasted since the season’s opening meeting at Le Castellet. Claiming a double victory in Austria, Bruckner has closed the gap from the German girl to 15 points. Meanwhile, Krafft has built up a solid 39-point lead in the Ladies’ Trophy. RACE 1 – KARAMYSHEV FROM LAST TO FIRST Relegated to last row by a post-qualifying sanction, Nikolay Karamyshev shone in Race 1, charging up through the field and taking a brilliant win. This was slightly facilitated by the incident on lap 8 that eliminated his team-mate and race leader Igor Skuz, who collided with the Fiesta of Ulrike Krafft that was leading the Super 1600.

Viel Spaß beim Lesen und bis bald, Ihr MINI AUTO Team Spark 1:43 Sondermodell für MINI AUTO Viele Motorsport Fans haben gefragt ob wir dieses Jahr nur den BMW Z4 „Zetti“ als Sondermodell von Spark rausbringen würden und sich noch mehr Sondermodelle von uns gewünscht. Diesem Wunsch kommen wir gerne entgegen und zeigen Ihnen nun ein weiteres Modell aus dem Hause Spark welches noch vor Weihnachten erscheinen soll: Entgegen den meist sehr farbenfroh gestalteten BMW`s aus dem Team von Walkenhorst Motor- sport bringen wir nun den BMW M6 GT3 vom verregneten 3. VLN Lauf 2019 auf dem Nür- burgring. Das relativ schlicht gehaltene Coupe wurde von Henry Walkenhorst, Andreas Ziegler und Hunter Abbott pilotiert. Die Auflage ist auf 300 Stück begrenzt und nur ein kleiner Teil der Auflage geht in den Verkauf. Gerne nehmen wir ab sofort Ihre Vorbestellung entgegen.
