“I am so happy to get this opportunity to graduate to the WTCC for my home race. It’s a really big chance to learn from the best and I can’t wait to get my first experience. I will do my best to build my knowledge in the hope that I can race in the WTCC for the full time in the future,” said Sritrai.
