Dusan Borkovic admits slight disappointment after just missing out on victory

Dusan Borkovic finished the Race 2 at Singapore in second. The B3 Racing driver is happy with the result, but admits he would have wanted to finally take his maiden TCR win he has been chasing ever since the 2016 season started.

“Second is a nice result, although I would have preferred to take this first win I am running after,” said the Serbian. “Here at Singapore I knew that I had little chances against the Honda at the start, and the start is really crucial: staying in front is a great advantage on a street circuit, and even more when it is so hot and on a track where only one line is relatively clean.”

When the SEAT driver realised he was risking too much by trying to attack race leader Mikhail Grachev, he elected to just make sure he got to the finish line in second: “I tried to fight a bit in the initial laps, also because I was seeing my intrinsic pace was at least as fast as Grachev’s, but there was nothing to do and preferred to secure second and avoid trouble, especially after rubbing against the wall at the restart after the first safety-car.”

Borkovic is now seventh in the championship.
