Another Chevrolet Cruze powered by the two-litre normally aspirated engine will compete in the WTCC event at Shanghai, in the hand of Hong Kong driver Eric Kwong Hoi Fung.

Kwong and his Cruze, run by the Look Fong Racing Team, have dominated this year’s Hong Kong Touring Car Championship, claiming the title in the Super 2000 class with five victories out of the series’ eight rounds.

In the previous seasons, the 30-year old Kwong has also raced successfully in the China Formula Campus Championship, the Ferrari Challenge Asia Pacific and the Audi R8 Cup China. 

Macau racer Kelvin Leong Ian Veng will take part in the WTCC Race of China at Shanghai at the wheel of a JAS-built Honda Accord Euro R car, run by the Song Veng Racing Team.

The 31-year old driver is currently on his way to be crowned champion of the Macau Touring Car Series for the third time.

Kelvin Leong has already clinched the MTCS title twice, in 2008 and 2009.

For the second consecutive event the Liqui Moly Team Engstler will run a third car. In Shanghai “Alex” Liu Lic Ka will be at the wheel of a BMW 320si powered by the 2.0-litre normally aspirated engine.

This is the very same car that was driven by Masaki Kano at Suzuka and that will be entrusted to Joseph Rosa Merszei in Macau.

Liu, a race winner in the Macau and Asian Touring Car Championships, faces his second appearance in the WTCC, after he took part in the Macau event in 2009.
