The engines have roared, and the stage is set for a seismic shift in Southeast Asian motorsports! TSS The Super Series has officially joined forces with the globally renowned SRO Motorsports Group to launch a groundbreaking joint venture. This collaboration was first announced at the start of the year, sending shockwaves through the racing community. Now, with legal formalities advancing, the two powerhouse organizations are accelerating their mission to redefine the motorsports landscape in the region and beyond.

Laying the Groundwork for a New Era

Over the past few seasons, TSS The Super Series has firmly established itself as Southeast Asia’s premier national GT championship, attracting top-tier regional talent alongside world-class drivers. Now, with SRO’s expertise and international influence, the series is poised to ascend to new heights, delivering elite-level competition and world-class GT racing. The partnership between TSS and SRO is not just a handshake; it’s a full-throttle commitment to propelling TSS The Super Series onto the international stage. With a strategic alliance in place, the series is poised to cement itself as one of the most competitive and thrilling motorsport championships in the world. The legal framework for the new company is now in motion, setting the foundation for what promises to be an electrifying future.

SRO’s Balance of Performance (BoP) Introduced for 2025

As part of this partnership, TSS and SRO have agreed to implement SRO’s globally recognized Balance of Performance (BoP) regulations in the popular GT3 and GT4 categories. This ensures a level playing field for all competitors, reinforcing fairness, competition integrity, driver confidence and international credibility. With this innovation, the series promises edge-of-the-seat action, where talent and strategy will make the difference between victory and defeat.

A major technical shift for the 2025 season comes with the introduction of Pirelli as the official tire supplier. This move aligns TSS The Super Series with SRO’s global championships, as Pirelli exclusively supplies tyres to SRO-run series worldwide, including GT World Challenge powered by AWS, GT2 European Series powered by Pirelli and all standalone GT4-licensed championships. Now, TSS The Super Series competitors will use the same race-proven supplier as their European, American, Australian and Asian counterparts.

 

Towards Global Recognition

This partnership with SRO Motorsports Group represents another pivotal milestone in the TSS The Super Series’ drive to internationalize the championship. Alongside returning to Buriram and the legendary Bangsaen street circuit, the series will maintain its key event in Malaysia, with a double-header scheduled at the Sepang International Circuit.

In recent years, the organization has made significant strides in enhancing the series’ profile both domestically and on the global stage. All communications are produced in both Thai and English, ensuring broad accessibility. Moreover, each event is streamed live, with commentary available in Thai, English, Chinese and German, ensuring an inclusive experience for a diverse international audience.

Stéphane Ratel, SRO Motorsports Group Founder and CEO: “I am very happy to begin this new partnership with TSS The Super Series. SRO has made great strides in Asia over the past decade and this agreement further solidifies our position. We are delighted that TSS will adopt our Balance of Performance regulations, and it is very pleasing to see them forge a partnership with Pirelli, with whom SRO has worked closely for many years. I am sure that this marks the start of an exciting phase of development for TSS The Super Series.”

Sontaya Kunplome, The President of TSS: “Partnering with SRO marks a significant milestone for TSS The Super Series. While TSS is already established at an international level, this collaboration strengthens our competitive platform through SRO’s global standards, technical expertise, and proven Balance of Performance system, along with the Pirelli partnership. Moreover, this partnership opens exciting opportunities for regional talent to thrive globally. Together, SRO and TSS will also collaborate to organize and further develop motorsport across the Southeast Asia region, fostering growth and elevating the sport throughout the area.”

2025 Season Kicks Off with High-Profile Test Days

Marking the dawn of this new era, the TSS The Super Series 2025 season roared to life with two days of intensive testing at the Chang International Circuit. The TSS Test Days saw an unprecedented 106 cars from TSS The Super Series and B-Quik Thailand Super Series hit the track, setting the tone for a landmark season ahead.

The paddock showcased an impressive grid, featuring 14 world-class manufacturers, including Aston Martin, Audi, Chevrolet, Ferrari, Ford, Honda, Isuzu, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Suzuki, and Toyota. Fans were treated to the debut of new-generation GT3 titans, such as the Ferrari 296 GT3 and the Porsche 911 GT3 R (Type 992), offering a glimpse of the thrilling battles to come.

The series’ growing prestige continues to attract some of the finest regional talent, alongside internationally renowned GT stars. Former F1 driver Markus Winkelhock was a regular on the GT3 grid last season, while global GT icons such as Earl Bamber, Edoardo Mortara, and Pierre Kaffer have previously taken part in selected rounds.

During the Test Days, ex-Formula 1 driver Gianni Morbidelli took to the Chang International Circuit, putting the Ford RR Daytime GT Coupe prototype through its paces in the GTC category. The Italian touring car ace’s expertise has been pivotal in the car’s development, with lap times improving steadily throughout the sessions.

The Road Ahead

With momentum at an all-time high, the TSS-SRO collaboration is set to push the limits of Southeast Asian motorsports like never before. The fusion of TSS’s regional dominance and SRO’s global expertise marks a thrilling new era for racers, teams, and fans alike.

Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled season as the highly anticipated 2025 racing calendar is officially unveiled! The upcoming season promises high-speed action, world-class competition, and an electrifying atmosphere across five thrilling events:

  • Event 1: 22-25 May 2025 – Chang International Circuit

  • Event 4: 19-21 September 2025 – Sepang International Circuit
