Now, having the chance to take part in the WTCC and at the same time create history by being the first Singaporean to be in the event is indeed a privilege. I will put my foot to the pedal and aim to fly the Singapore flag high at the competition. I hope my participation at the WTCC will open up doors for other emerging racing talents from Singapore to become known in the world motorsport arena,” said Choo.

Fan Chian Jen, Deputy Director, Motorsports Industry Development Department, Sports Marketing Group, Singapore Sports Council commented, “Choo’s participation in the WTCC is a historic milestone for Singapore sports.
