Gianni Morbidelli, winner: “It was simply a perfect day, I must reckon. Everything was perfect and the car performed extremely well. I congratulate WestCoast Racing for the very good work. It is clear that here in Shanghai the Honda cars were above the competition, as it was the case for SEAT in Sepang. We felt at ease since the beginning of free practice and could materialize the good work. We’ll try to carry on the momentum, knowing very well that it will be difficult to always have a day like today.”

René Münnich, second: “It’s nice to be on the podium, I am happy to have been behind Gianni throughout the entire weekend so far. In the race, I could almost follow his pace and in the last couple of laps I even reduced the gap, although I think he lift off a bit.”

Kevin Gleason, third: “I believe Stefano Comini and I put the show today! It was good a good fight, always very close. He was weaving in excess on the straights, but all in all, it was fair. I hope the fans enjoyed it and I think they will need to get used to that sort of show in the TCR! Again, my start was quite poor, I really need to improve that.”
