Ferrari Challenge APAC 2015 The Championship returns to Shanghai
Shanghai, 13 July 2015 – The Ferrari Challenge Asia Pacific returns at the Shanghai circuit, which hosted the third round of the 2015 championship during the Ferrari Racing Days, for the fifth round of the season. Once again a dazzling show of power and speed was put forth on the track that also hosts the Chinese Formula 1 Grand Prix. The weekend was to be very exciting for all 21 drivers but especially for Singapore driver Gregory Teo, who put forth a strong showing against championship leader Chinese, Xu Wei on home soil.
Immensely challenging wet weather brought about a spectacular show on 11th July, with Race 1 of fifth round of Ferrari Challenge Asia Pacific. Dominating Trofeo Pirelli class, Australian Steve Wyatt scored his way to the chequered flag, leading the pack throughput from his pole position and setting the fastest lap time of 2:26.489. The Pirelli AM class was where Singaporean driver Greg Teo faced Chinese Xu Wei in a tight fight, narrowly missing the mark and crossing the finish line in second position. Clinching a clear victory in the Coppa Shell was fellow local driver Xing Yanbin
