Kumho FIA TCR World Tour 2026 Chengdu, China: Race 2
Inverted-grid chaos takes center stage in Sichuan as Race 2 explodes into action, streaming live on TrillerTV! The 2026 Kumho FIA TCR World Tour continues its action-packed Asian swing with the second leg of Round 6 at the technical Chengdu Tianfu International Circuit.
With the top 10 positions from Qualifying completely inverted for the starting grid, Race 2 guarantees maximum drama. Frontrunners and championship leaders must fight their way through traffic on Chengdu's tight 19-corner layout, making strategy, defensive positioning, and aggressive overtaking paramount.
The Inverted-Grid Shakeup By rule, the driver who qualifies 10th in Q2 starts on pole position for Race 2, while the Q2 pole sitter lines up 10th on the grid. This reverse order puts intense pressure on mid-pack starters to capitalize on early clean air into Turn 1 before heavy-hitting factory drivers slice through the order.
Championship Charge Through Traffic
Mikel Azcona (BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse): The overall points leader starts deep in the pack, relying on the Elantra N TCR's sharp corner-entry speed to make rapid overtakes.
Norbert Michelisz (BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse): The reigning champion faces a crucial recovery drive as he aims to mitigate damage to his title defense.

CUPRA & Honda Privateers: Drivers starting on the front two rows under the inverted format have their best opportunity of the weekend to hold off factory charges and capture a major race victory.
