By

Engstler Motorsport’s Kantadhee Kusiri has taken pole position for the third meeting of the TCR Asia Series, on the series second visit to the Zhuhai International Circuit, leading the two R Engineering Hondas of Abdul Kaathir and WS Lai.

Kusiri dominated the session in the Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR, and was almost nine-tenths of a second up in his Engstler-run machine.

Kusiri’s team-mate and points leader Diego Moran was fourth fastest, followed by the two Phoenix Asia-run Audis of brothers Shaun Thong and Jasper Thong behind.

Douglas Khoo was seventh in the Viper Niza Racing SEAT León, with American driver Bill O’Brien completing the top eight.
