Yoong and Cheng tied for lead heading into Audi R8 LMS Cup season finale
“The championship is wide open heading to Shanghai and it’s remarkable that in each of the four Audi R8 LMS Cup seasons, the championship title decider has gone right down to the wire,” said Rene Koneberg, Director of Audi Sport customer racing Asia.
While Yoong won Round 10, the Malaysian saw his fortunes reversed in Round 11 when a broken suspension forced him to retire early. For Cheng, the weekend in support of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), saw him vault into serious championship contention. Audi Hong Kong Team driver Marchy Lee won his second race of the season in Round 11, becoming only the second driver after Yoong to record multiple wins this season, and is now third in the championship just 17 points out of the lead.
With 51 points still on offer, an exhilarating showdown is expected in Shanghai as the series once again joins forces with the Audi Sport motorsport family to race alongside the Audi WEC entries. Fourth and just a further four points adrift is Cup newcomer Thomas Fjordbach of Federal-Mogul Motorparts Racing, while female Swiss GT specialist Rahel Frey, who finished third in Round 11, rounds out the top five. India’s Aditya Patel of Team Audi R8 LMS Cup is sixth in the championship standings, following a difficult weekend.
Rounds 12&13 of the Audi R8 LMS Cup will be held from October 30-31 at the Shanghai International Circuit in support of the FIA World Endurance Championship.
