By

Five Macau drivers are registered to take part in the WTCC finale next week, with 29 cars set to take part in the final round of the season.

Also at Macau, Honda cars will be present for the first time this season, subject to approval by the FIA.

Hong Kong driver Ma Phillip plans to race his Honda Accord, as does Macau driver Kuok le Long.

Chan Kin Man will enter a Honda Civic Type-R EP3 independently.

Joseph Rosa Merszei will again compete at his home event with Engstler Motorsport, whilst Engstler will also run Japanese driver Masaki Kano, expanding to four cars for the race.

Ho Ch’ Un Kei will compete in a BMW 320si entered by Ho Wai Kun, whilst André Couto is scheduled to race in the SEAT León TDI raced by Michaël Rossi in Japan, and by Jordi Gené earlier in the season.
