More racing is sure to rev-up petrolheads at the 2016 Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix (GP), held from September 16th-18th, with the Ferrari Challenge Asia Pacific joining the TCR International Series and Porsche Carrera Cup Asia as the event's official support races.
The Ferrari Challenge Asia Pacific, part of the Prancing Horse's one-make series, returns to the event for the first time since 2012. The event will feature top drivers from around the world, racing identical Ferrari 458 Challenge EVOs. Singapore will see its very own driver, Gregory Teo, competing in the Trofeo Pirelli AM classification. He finished in second place overall in last year's Trofeo Pirelli AM Asia Pacific Series, winning 50 percent of the races he has participated in last year, making him a strong contender for the title this year.
Also returning to the Singapore GP official support race bill is the TCR International Series touring car championship. The global series made its Singapore debut last year, and impressed trackside race fans with its field of 2.0-litre turbocharged production touring cars from major manufacturers including Ford, Honda, Opel, Seat and Volkswagen.
The Porsche Carrera Cup Asia completes the official support race lineup at the 2016 Singapore GP. Now in its 14th season, the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia sees some of the best sports car drivers in the business going wheel-to-wheel in identical Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars. Making his first appearance at his home track will be Andrew Tang, the young Singaporean who was chosen as the first ever Porsche China Junior.
