CLEAN SWEEP FOR 788 AUTOSPORT


It was a clean sweep of the top three podium positions for team 788 Autosport today in Round 4 of the Asian Touring Car Series, with a thrilled Lo Ka Chun making up for the disappointment of Round 3 with a win.

“I didn’t have such a good start,” he said. “But my car is in excellent condition, so I was able to win. This is a very good result for me and I hope to continue this position throughout the season!”

Behind Ka Chun was Gary Sham, also in a Honda Integra DC2, with Lo Ka Fai in third, making it an all-Hong Kong podium. Ka Fai had had a narrow escape during the race and was delighted to have finished in third.

“N. Jakthong spun in front of me, and I had a real job to avoid him,” he said. “We touched slightly which damaged my car. I had problems with braking and handling and Kirakiat (Yenmanoj) managed to get by me, but I found a perfect place on the very next corner to regain my position.”

Yenmanoj finished fourth for 3 Crowns Racing, with the second Thai driver, Jakthong, racing for Soopanava Team, in fifth, both at the wheel of Toyota Altezzas.

In Division 3, it was Danny Stacy Chau who took the win for Team IMSP. “I had a lot better race than the last one. Once I was leading my division, I just concentrated on avoiding any accidents at all costs!” he said.

Taiwanese driver, Shih Shih Weh was second in Division 3 in the Buddy Club CPC Honda Civic EK4. “I like this circuit very much, but I was having transmission problems for the whole race,” said Shih, who last raced in the series two years ago.

Japanese driver, Junichi Koizumi was third for Ao’s Racing in a Honda Civic EK9.
