Australian takes racing cup

AUSTRALIAN Christian Jones took his second Porsche Carrera Cup Asia victory of the day, wining Round 6 with another faultless performance on the 4.2km Zhuhai International Circuit.
Christian crossed the line with a comfortable margin of more than four seconds ahead of GruppeM Racing’s Tim Sudgen.
Hong Kong’s Darryl O’Young was third for the second time today, but his consistency paid off to put Team Jebsen top of the Championship leader-board after six races.
Darryl now leads with a one-point advantage over Christian, who had arrived here third in the standings. Team StarChase driver Christian Menzel, Class A leader at the start of the weekend, now is third after a dramatic change of fortune for the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia drivers.
Christian, fastest in qualifying, untouchable on his way to two emphatic victories and setting the fastest lap in both races, proved beyond doubt he is worthy of the support he is seeking so he can contest the rest of the season, and continue his fight for the title.
Darryl was delighted to put his team top of the leader-board, despite a trying weekend: “Leading the Championship is the best part of the weekend, and that’s where I want to keep us for the rest of the season,” he said.
SC Global Racing’s Matthew Marsh crossed the line fourth ahead of Team PCS Racing’s Mok Weng Sun, both drivers recording their best finishes so far this season.
In Class B, ThunderAsia Racing’s Melvin Choo also notched up his second win of the day, ahead of Hong Kong’s Philip Ma and Australian Paul Tresidder. Paul had a disappointing qualifying session on Saturday, but fought back superbly to claim a podium finish in the second race of the day.
