FIA WTCR 2019 - Race of Japan

As Japan tries to recover from the aftermath of the monster storm Hagibis, the FIA World Touring Car Cup Race of Japan, held at Suzuka Circuit, really stirred up some smiles to the Japanese spectators even though this race weekend's full of drama and thriller in store for the touring car drivers.

In the first race, Esteban Guerrieri is back on the top of the #ROADTOMALAYSIA rankings after driving his Honda Civic towards victory lane courtesy of his pole position advantage. Then, in the reverse-grid second race, however, Norbert Michelisz snatched Guerrieri's title lead after winning the race. But, Guerrieri's back on top after placing 2nd in the final race, where Johan Kristoffersson wins.

With only two venues and six races left of the season, the title fight between Guerrieri and Michelisz is going to be the talk of the town and expect heated rivalry even at the endgame but who will emerge as the champion?

Next time, the FIA WTCR are heading to Macau on the 14th to the 17th of November.
