B-Quik Racing announces a driver change for the upcoming final round of Thailand Super Series (TSS), the 9th Bangsaen Thailand Speed Festival on 24-29 November.
Hong Kong driver Darryl O’Young will return to the drive the team’s Porsche 997 GT3 Cup in Bangsaen alongside the #26 Audi R8 LMS Cup of Henk J. Kiks, substituting for regular driver Daniel Bilski who has a clashing engagement.
Daniel, who has driven the #27 Porsche during the first three rounds of the TSS season, has also enjoyed a terrific year with B-Quik Racing in our participation in our first international series, the pan-Asian Audi R8 Cup, clinching the prestigious Amateur Cup title at the final round of the season, which took place at the beginning of this month. That success though means he will be representing B-Quik Racing at Audi Sport’s glamorous end of year gala awards event in Germany, which clashes with Bangsaen.
Substituting for Daniel will be Darryl. He’s a perfect ‘fit’ for the team as he drove our Porsche 997 GT3 Cup last year in Bangsaen, his first visit to the street circuit, and he came away with a double victory in Super Car Class 2-GTM. With plenty of knowledge of our team, car and circuit Darryl was clearly the only choice to replace Daniel.
Darryl comes into the event in superb form as he was recently crowned 2015 GT Asia Series Drivers’ Champion. The weekend before Bangsaen he will be competing in the FIA GT World Cup in Macau with his regular team Craft-Bamboo, meaning it will be back-to-back street races for the Canadian born driver.
