CEFC Manor TRS Racing has extended its Official Test & Reserve Driver Programme with the addition of Chinese drivers Weiron Tan and Yuan Bo.

29 year old Yuan Bo is a race winner in the Asian Le Mans series and has extensive experience in both GT cars and LMP cars having competed in the Volkswagen Scirocco R Cup China, Malaysia Merdeka Endurance Race, Renault Clio Cup China, Lamborghini Super Trofeo - World Final and also the Asian Le Mans series in both GT and LMP2 categories.

Graeme Lowdon, President and Sporting Director

“We are very happy that both Weiron and Yuan are joining the team. We know Weiron from our LMP2 test in Bahrain last year where he impressed us with his speed and professional approach. These additions to our driver programme strengthen our presence in the Chinese region which is important for us.”

Weiron Tan, Driver

“I am extremely excited to be part of the CEFC Manor TRS Racing family, a big thank you to TRS and Graeme for extending this once in a lifetime opportunity to me! I have tested with Manor in Bahrain last year so I am familiar with the team and we get along very well. This is an exciting step forward in my racing career and I can’t wait to work for this Chinese team.”

Yuan Bo, Driver

“It’s a great honor for me to join in this big family. As a Chinese driver it’s not easy to race in an event like WEC so I will value this opportunity to race and to learn. What’s more, I’d like to thank TRS to give me this chance, I will try my best to fight on behalf of my country and to bring my contribution to Chinese motorsports.”
