Zhuhai Touring Car Races 1994 and beyond, entry lists, images etcc

So I stumbled across this touring car race on Youtube, the Zhuhai Touring Car Race in 1994 for apparently a lot of ex- DTM machinery:

And in 94, Henry Lee Jr in what looks like a Group A M3:





Does anyone have entry lists or photo galleries for these races? Regs etc?

I don't have a complete archive of the events at Zhuhai 1994-1995, but they formed a round of the South East Asian Touring Car Zone Challenge. The main teams were AIM Motorsports, EKS Motorsport and Charriol in Division 1 with various Asian teams forming Divions 2 and 3. Division 1 was DTM-spec, Division 2 was Group A 2000cc and Class 2 Supertourers, and Divison 3 was Group A 1600cc.

Based on the low-res stream on Youtube, 1994's grid was:
1. Henry Lee Jr. - BMW M3 Evo - Philippe Charriol
2. Man Manit - Merc 190E Evo II - Castrol AIM
3. Charles Kwan - BMW M3 Evo - 3 Crowns
4. Suphot Kasikam - Merc 190E Evo II - Castrol AIM (Controversial w/ his contact against long-term rival Charlie Kwan)
5. Josef Zenner (Jurgen) - BMW M3 Evo - BMW Team Taipei
6. (Unsure, but I believe...) Ho Long Pui - BMW M3 Evo - Team 778
7. Yenmanoj Kirakiat - BMW M3 Evo - 3 Crowns
8. Kevin Wong - BMW M3 Evo - EKS? (Unsure who ran the car, maybe IMSP)
9. Winston Mak - BMW M3 Evo - EKS
10. Apipunya Prasert - Honda Civic EG6 - Singha National Panasonic Racing Team

These I'm more or less certain about, the following less so:
Edmund Leung - Civic EF3 - Nin Hing Electronics
Jun San Chen - CIVIC EF3 - AAI Motorsports
Rui Clemente - BMW M3 Evo - Macau Racing Team
Tommy Chan - Toyota AE111 - Car Centre Racing Team (with IMSP?)
Danny Stacy Chau - Toyota AE92 - Team IMSP (This guy is super important to the SEATCZC, Asian Touring Car Champs/Series, and Asian motorsport as a whole)
Brian Whillock - Toyota AE92 - Macau Racing Team (I think?)
Chu Yee Ping - Toyota AE92 - ??? Tomato Racing Team (I think?)
Toyota Team Thailand at some point entered Supertouring AE100s for:
Saksrivetkul Kajornsak and Suttipong Smirtchart (team owner/"Arto")

Also entered throughout the '94 SEATCZC championship was an Alfa 155 Class1 for Limnantarak Kriangkrai and Graham Goode's RS500 amongst a few other BMW M3 Evo's and various Honda Civics and Toyota Corolla's in Group A 1600cc.

1995, I'm less certain about. This race had significantly more Class 2 Supertourers, as was the case for the whole SEATCZC season. The grid as per the stream was roughly:
1. Charoensukhawatana Nattavude - Merc 190E Evo 2 - Singha AIM
2. Man Manit - Merc 190E Evo 2 - Castrol AIM
3. Charles Kwan - BMW M3 Evo - 3 Crowns w/ EKS
4. Suphot Kasikam - Merc 190E Evo 2 - Castrol AIM
5. Henry Lee Jr - BMW M3 Evo - Philippe Charriol
6. Winston Mak - BMW 318i - 3 Crowns w/ EKS Motorspot
7. Kajornsak Saksrivetkul - Toyota Corolla AE100 - Toyota Team Thailand
8. Yenmanoj Kirakiat - BMW 318i - 3 Crowns w/ EKS
9. Suttipong Smitrchart - Toyota Corolla AE100 - Toyota Team Thailand

Unsure of the rest of the grid, but believe the following competed at Zhuhai:
George Ong - BMW 318i - ??? EKS?
Jojo Silverio - BMW 318i - DS Team
Apipunya Prasert & Danny Stacy Chau - Honda Civic EG6 - Singha National Pansonic
Preecha Pisantanakul - Honda Ferio - Singha National Panasonic
Brian Whillock - Toyota AE92 - Macau Racing Team

Could well be wrong with the latter. Across the rest of the SEATCZC season, there were again various Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas driven by a variety of differently skilled drivers, some very quick and some soon to be quick. Notably in Class 2, Henry Lee drove a Nissan Sentra, Toyota Team Indonesia entered Indra Saksono and Tommy Santosa who were both very quick at Sentul, whilst the Toyota Corona Exsior saw the track at the season ending Bira round with Nattavude and Jun San Chen at the wheel.
