CTCC Shanghai round unveils star-studded lineup

The 2025 China Touring Car Championship and China GT Championship season finale will take place at Shanghai International Circuit on Sept 20-21, featuring over 100 cars and nearly 200 drivers.

Chinese entertainment stars Wang Yibo, Aarif Lee, and Xu Weizhou will join a strong lineup of international and domestic racers.

As part of the CTCC platform, the TCR China Series returns to Shanghai's Jiading district for its penultimate round, intensifying the battle for season honors.

Thirty cars from leading teams, including Lynk & Co, the MacPro Racing Team, and the 326 Racing Team, are set to battle it out on the track.

Two major titles are up for grabs in the TCR China Series:

The TCR China Championship will feature a tense intra-team title tussle. Zhang Zhiqiang currently leads the points, with Zhu Daiwei just one point behind, making Lynk & Co's internal battle a season highlight.

The TCR China Challenge also promises fierce action, with Pan Dejun and Huang Ying vying for top positions.

Another highlight under the CTCC umbrella is the CTCC China Cup, which has attracted a record 44 entries. SAIC Volkswagen and Lynk & Co are fielding strong squads, while actors-turned-drivers Aarif Lee and Xu Weizhou are making high-profile appearances.

Meanwhile, the China GT Championship, a separate series focused on supercars, will also hold its finale during the same weekend. A total of 31 GT cars from brands such as Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes-AMG, and Porsche are set to compete.

Swedish driver Erik Johansson leads the GT3 Drivers Championship, while Wang Yibo returns with the UNO Racing Team. The GTS and GTC classes are also poised for intense multi-brand battles at Shanghai's F1 circuit.
