Team News - Wimobilize McElrea Racing happy with result

Wimobilze McElrea Racing was once again extremely pleased with finishing inside the top 10 overall, in the largest PCCA field in the history of the sport.

“Its almost like a dream come true to make this big step forward, and find consistent performance in this type of pace. Our qualifying wasn’t the best, as we qualified 12th of 23 cars, though climbing up to 9th overall for both races is fantastic for us! We were targeting top 10 finishes toward the end of the season, so to do it in 3 of 4 races this year so far, is a fantastic foundation to build on,” exclaimed Tan.

Singaporean born Yuey Tan, currently is 10th overall in the championship, and 5th in class B, boasting good performances that has seen Tan be above Ringo Chong, Wayne Shen, Michael Choi and Jeffrey Lee, all consistent performers in the Asian motorsport arena.

“Yeah its great that we are ahead some of these guys. But I am under no illusions about any of their driving capabilities. Ringo Chong has huge experience and if I put my money down, he’ll do the business over the course of the season. It is flattering to know we are almost at the pace that Ringo has set for so many years in Singapore. Wayne Shen is also a fearless driver, and Michael and Jeffrey are hugely experienced as well.”

Wayne Shen made a last ditch effort to get past Tan in the final stages of race 2 during the Beijing Fascination weekend.

Tan was shocked. “This comes done to experience doesn’t it. He jammed the nose of his car into the corner in a difficult position, and I had no choice but to let him through. I will be more careful next time. Lesson learned. Though an expensive one. Cost me my first podium of the year which is a bit of a shame. Though, he’s quicker, so well done to Wayne.”

Yuey Tan will be competing next in Adelaide, Australia on May 28-30.
