Wing Hin Motorsports shines in the opening race of the TGR GR86/BRZ Clubman Series Japan

Wing Hin Motorsports showcased an impressive performance in the opening round of the Toyota Gazoo Racing GR86/BRZ Clubman Series held recently.

The driver development program of Wing Hin Motorsports featured Mitchell Cheah from Malaysia, supported by teammate Jordan Johan from TGR Indonesia.

For the record, Wing Hin Motorsports was the overall champion of the Toyota Gazoo Racing GR86/BRZ Clubman Series last year.

Strong Debut Performance

Despite racing in Japan for the first time, Cheah, 28, displayed a solid performance by finishing the race in second place.

According to Cheah, preparations included spending time on the simulator to familiarize himself with the Autopolis circuit. He also underwent a brief test with the vehicle before race week, acknowledging that it is not an easy car to master.

His teammate, Jordan Johan finished the race in sixth place moving up one position from his seventh place starting position in the qualifying round.

Both drivers were guided by Masahiro Sasaki, a racer from Gazoo Racing and Rookie Racing, who is also leading Wing Hin Motorsports’ efforts to pave the way for Asia’s talent development.

The Real Challenge Sharpens Driver Skills

According to the Team Manager of Wing Hin Motorsports, this program offers not just practice and training time but real racing to accelerate learning and sharpen driver skills.

“This is a strong result to start the season; however, the development process will continue, and both drivers acknowledge that the challenges ahead will be tougher.”

Young racers Naquib Azlan and Amer Harris, representing the Wing Hin Motorsports team, have successfully secured second place in the GT4 class at the Thailand Super Series race, despite making their debut appearance in the series.

The Toyota GR Supra GT4 car used in the race was among the fastest among the four GR Supra GT4s.

The racing duo, Naquib and Amer, managed to complete the one-hour race just 4.5 seconds behind the champion Mercedes-AMG GT, defeating two Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport cars.

According to Naquib, “achieving second place is still a strong decision for both of us and the team. There is still a lot of potential to be explored in this new car, but we are happy to establish a good starting point and successfully secure a podium position in our homeland, Malaysia.

“Our goal is to reach the top position, and we are eager to progress towards it gradually.

Of the two races scheduled for round 3 at the PETRONAS International Circuit at Sepang, one had to be canceled due to extreme wet weather conditions.

Round 4 of the Thailand Super Series will be held in Malaysia on September 6-8, with three races scheduled for that weekend.

According to the Wing Hin Motorsports Team Principal, William Loh, “this is our first race and there is still plenty of room for improvement, as well as data that can be collected and evaluated.

“Both of our racers believe they can deliver better performances. We hope to come back stronger in the next three races.

Wing Hin Motorsports, which has previously won the Sepang 1000KM Endurance Race, also competes in the Super Compact class of the Thailand Super Series.

The transition to the GT4 racing class not only aligns with the goal of competing at a higher level but also helps to develop and provide opportunities for young Malaysian racers to shine on the international stage.
