Buriram Int'l Circuit President Says Buriram Will Become Southeast Asia's Motorsports Hub

Buriram Int'l Circuit President Newin Chidchob said on Friday that Buriram "will become Southeast Asia’s motorsport hub in the near future," according to Kittipong Thongsombat of the BANGKOK POST. The 4.5km circuit, designed by Hermann Tilke of Germany, "is expected to be complete in August, two months before it hosts a Super GT Series event" from Oct. 4-5. In the build-up to the Super GT event, "there will be a four-day motorsport festival." BRIC "is Newin’s latest sporting project after his success in turning Buriram United into one of Thailand’s best football clubs." Newin: "It took us for years for Buriram United to be on the world football map. In the next three years, we will be on the world motorsport map." The Super GT event to be held at BRIC in October "is one of two races under a two-year contract." It "will be the only race outside Japan and the seventh and penultimate race of the season." MCOT HD30 "will be BRIC’s media partner" (BANGKOK POST, 3/22).
