“If last year’s event is anything to go by, All I can say is that the TGR GT CUP ASIA is insanely competitive considering we will be racing against the region’s best drivers,” Said Taj Aiman. “The most important thing will be to remain focus and consistent. You cannot afford to make mistakes on any of the four races, and if you do, the odds of bouncing back into championship contention will be anything from slim to impossible.”
