2012 AFR Series Masters Class first runner up Thomas Chow is expected to make his race return with Asia Racing Team at the next round of AFR Series at Zhuhai in two weeks' time.

Due to professional commitments, the Hong Kong native has been absent from the race track. In 2013 he only competed in the race of Shanghai, finishing 3rd of Masters Class in the second race. To get back in shape in the series, Chow has been driving the Asia Racing Team-run Tatuus-made Formula Renault 2.0 at the Zhuhai International Circuit.

Speaking ahead of the weekend, Thomas Chow said "This will be my first race this season as I have missed the previous five races due to personal affairs. Coming back to Zhuhai since the last race 18 months ago is exciting. Besides enjoying the races, it'd be wonderful as well as meaningful to go on the podium in the Father's Day weekend after missing the Sepang races due to Mother's Day.”

Team Manager Philippe Descombes added, “We’re very pleased to have Thomas back in the team this weekend. He has been sidelined since May last year but he can’t be written off in the Masters Class podium fight. He has been testing with us in Zhuhai and he knows the track very well.”

The AFR Series Rnd 6 & 7 will take place from June 13th to 15th.
