Malaysia’s Wing Hin Motorsports enjoyed a successful outing at the Chang International Circuit in Thailand, securing two race victories across the GT4 and Super Touring classes during the latest rounds of the TSS The Super Series and Thailand Super Series. The team’s weekend was marked by contrasting fortunes, with a hard-fought GT4 victory on Saturday followed by a dominant Super Touring triumph on Sunday, despite several setbacks involving its other entries.

In Round 4 of the GT4 Class in the TSS The Super Series, Mitchell Cheah and Hong Kong driver Ryan Wong delivered an impressive performance in the #39 Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2, claiming victory in Saturday’s one-hour race on 31 October. Starting fifth on the grid, the duo worked their way into contention before securing the win by an incredibly narrow margin of just 0.331 seconds over Thailand’s Ananthorn T. and Supakit J. from PETROLIFE Racing Team.

The Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2 also demonstrated its competitiveness by occupying all three podium positions, with Prakhun P. and Todd K. of Inging x Autowerks Racing completing the top three. However, hopes of securing a second consecutive victory were dashed during Sunday’s Race 2. Running strongly in third position and pushing for the lead with just seven laps remaining, Wong was involved in an incident with a slower car that ultimately ended their race.

According to Cheah, Wong had already overtaken the slower competitor before being hit by the same driver at the following corner. The impact caused a mechanical failure that prevented the Toyota from turning, forcing the pair to retire. While the GT4 campaign ended on a disappointing note, Wing Hin Motorsports found redemption in the Super Touring Class of the Thailand Super Series, where its four-car entry experienced a weekend of highs and lows.

Saturday’s opening race initially looked promising for Nabil Azlan and Amer Harris in the #36 Toyota Vios. The pair were leading at the halfway point of the one-hour race, but an unexpected technical issue emerged shortly after Amer took over the car following the compulsory pit stop. Although Amer managed to keep the car running and avoid retirement, the loss of pace dropped them as far back as 15th position. With limited racing time remaining, he could only recover to finish 10th.

Their teammates in the #38 Toyota Yaris, Jwan Hii and Dannies Ng, came close to securing a podium finish, crossing the line fourth, just one second outside the top three. There was further drama for the team when the #39 Toyota Yaris, driven by Varunchit Wattanathanakun and Mekkaradkeeta Kalantananda, was involved in a high-speed collision with just two laps remaining. The impact sent the car rolling onto its roof, prompting the race to conclude behind the safety car.

Meanwhile, Nick Teo and Ian Wong in the #9 Toyota Vios were forced to retire after completing 16 laps. Sunday’s Race 2 provided a much-needed turnaround for Nabil and Amer, who bounced back in spectacular fashion to claim a commanding victory.

The #36 Toyota Vios controlled proceedings from the start, eventually finishing 17 seconds ahead of Vongsapat Ketsiri from Idemitsu Racing Team Thailand, who secured second place in a Honda CRZ. Another Honda CRZ, driven by Peempol T. and Kajonsak N., completed the podium. Amer credited the team’s preparation and the car’s performance for their success, explaining that establishing a substantial lead early in the race allowed them to manage their pace towards the finish.

He also thanked the team, sponsors and Malaysian supporters for their continued encouragement throughout the season. Wing Hin Motorsports recorded further points with Hii and Ng bringing the #38 Toyota Yaris home in fifth, while Teo and Wong finished 12th in the #9 Toyota Vios. Unfortunately, Wattanathanakun and Kalantananda were unable to participate in Sunday’s race as their Toyota Yaris had sustained extensive damage in Saturday’s accident.
