20 Mar 2011 GT Challenge R2: Lamborghini civil battle escalates, backmarker decides winner

At 15:45 in the afternoon, 2011 Audi Pan Delta Super Racing Festival Spring Race's last race - GT Challenge Race 2 is welcomed on the track. The second race's starting grid is determined by the second qualifying session. Therefore, race 1 winner Michael choi starts from pole position with Siu Yuk-Lung in second place. In race 1 in the morning, Siu Yuk-Lung could not defend his position from Michael choi and lost the race, whether he can revenge the defeat will be a focal point of the race.

The field follows the safety car around the track for the warm-up lap and the race starts after the safety car has gone into the pitlane. Michael Choi makes no mistakes and although he is under challenge from Siu Yuk-Lung, he defends his inside line very well.

At the same time, Siu Yuk-Lung follows Michael closely, trying to overtake using his slipstream. The gap between them is about 0.5 second. The leading duo's battle is by no means the only interest in the race, the drivers near the back are also having their own battle, Porsche driver Sasha Chu and Ferrari driver Benjamin Sam are disputing sixth place. Sasha is only 1 second ahead and the close racing have the crowds enthused.

On lap 4, Michael Choi still cannot shake off Siu Yuk-Lung, and actually allows him to close to 0.3 second. Siu Yuk-Lung keeps looking for a way by, it is anyone's guess as to who will win. In the middle stage of the race, Siu Yuk-Lung begins to show signs of tiredness, although he can hold on, the 0.7 second gap leaves him gasping.


On lap 10, the race sees another twist, as Michael Choi and Siu Yuk-Lung come up to lap a backmarker, it presents Siu with his last chance. He needs to close the gap as they do the lapping otherwise there will be no way for him to win. But sadly Michael Choi actually uses the backmarker to extend his lead to over 2 seconds, the race is over as far as Siu is concerned.

At the end, Michael Choi wins his second race of the day by 1.53 seconds. Siu Yuk-Lung finishes in second place again while Eddie Yau Jr takes third place in his Porsche 911 Cup.
