James Nash will drive for the FRD Ford HK Racing Team in the TCR International Series season finale in Macau, with the entry being jointly run by FRD and Proteam Racing.
Nash previously revealed to TouringCars.Net that he was considering a switch to the TCR series in October, when he attended the TCR Benelux Promoters event in Belgium.
The announcement marks Nash’s return to touring car racing, with the Brit having spent the past two years racing in The Blancpain Endurance / Sprint Series and the British GT Championship.
Nash previously spent five years racing in touring cars, including the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) between 2009 and 2011, and then the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) between 2012 and 2013, where he scored two outright victories.
“I’ve been watching TCR develop over its maiden season and the success is amazing,” said Nash. “Joining the championship with the Ford team is a great opportunity and racing at Macau is always special. I can’t wait to meet the team and have my first few laps in a TCR car.”
Nash will take the wheel of the car previously raced by Robb Holland in Thailand and Kenneth Ma in Singapore.
