锦湖 FIA TCR 世界巡回赛本周末将在澳门迎来赛季高潮，最后两轮比赛将见证领克 Cyan Racing 车队队友扬·埃赫拉切和泰德·比约克为世界冠军展开正面交锋。
埃赫拉切显然是夺冠热门，他领先 34 分，并在本赛季取得了四场胜利，是全系列赛中最多的。这位 29 岁的车手正在追逐他的第三个世界冠军头衔，这是他自 2021 年以来的首次，从五月份在墨西哥开始，他一直保持着高分和稳定的发挥。
与此同时，44 岁的瑞典车手比约克连续第二年成为冠军争夺者。今年他已赢得三场比赛，目标是自 2017 年赢得最后一届 WTCC 车手总冠军以来首次夺得世界冠军。比约克在澳门有着良好的历史记录，去年他在那里获得了杆位和一场胜利。此外，领克赛车在著名的 6.2 公里街道赛道上一直占据主导地位，该中国品牌在 2019 年首次参赛时就取得了三连胜。
这场冠军争夺战不会仅仅在队友之间展开。其他强劲的竞争对手预计也将发挥关键作用，其中包括 BRC 韩国现代 N 赛队的诺伯特·米歇利斯和 GOAT 赛车队的埃斯特万·古埃里里。这两人是除比约克之外，仅有的在这一标志性赛事中赢得过比赛的车手，因此他们将是接下来比赛中的关键因素。
Kumho FIA TCR World Tour preview
Macau gears up for the title decider
The Kumho FIA TCR World Tour season reaches its climax this weekend in Macau, where the final two rounds will see Lynk & Co Cyan Racing teammates Yann Ehrlacher and Thed Björk battle head-to-head for the world title.
Ehrlacher is the clear favourite, holding a 34-point lead and boasting a series-high four wins this season. The 29-year-old is pursuing his third world title overall, his first since 2021, following a remarkably high-scoring and consistent performance that began in Mexico back in May.
Meanwhile, 44-year-old Swedish racer Björk returns as a title contender for the second year running. With three wins this year, he aims to capture his first world title since he took the final WTCC drivers’ crown in 2017. Björk has history on his side at Macau, having secured pole position and a race victory there last year. Furthermore, the Lynk & Co car has historically been dominant on the fabled 6.2km street circuit, with the Chinese brand famously achieving a hat-trick of victories on its 2019 debut.
The title fight won't just be between the teammates. Other strong competitors are expected to play a critical role, including BRC Hyundai N Squadra Corse driver Norbert Michelisz and GOAT Racing’s Esteban Guerrieri. These two are the only drivers besides Björk to have previously won a race at the iconic event, making them key factors in the upcoming battles.
