RESULTS
Qualifying: P18
Course 1: P14
Course 2: P13
Aurelien Panis:“The TCR season is now over! Big thanks to my team Boutsen Ginion, Honda, all my partners and to everyone; thanks for your support.”
The last round of the TCR International Series has just taken place in sunny Dubai.
This meeting was not as successful as the round in Thailand for team driver Aurelien Panis at the wheel of the Honda TCR #28, mainly due to a lack of turbo power during the practice and qualifying sessions.
Race 1: Aurelien Panis had to start back on grid 18, but managed to come through the field up to P11. Unfortunately, he was hit by another competitor and finished in P14.
Race 2: Once again, starting on P18 and not having the luck again, was forced to retire on during the first lap in P13 with a broken splitter.
