The team performed extremely well in the 2011 Victoria Day Speedfest. "Our drivers and cars were wonderful this weekend despite going against more powerful engines of the MINIs and VW GTI." commented Team Manager and Consultant Otto Chiang.
After Saturday's qualifying, Gary Kwok #66 captured the pole position in Touring Class with 1:34:235 6 tenths better than second position. Tom Kwok
#55 and Jonathan Young #99 finished qualifying with 5th and 7th on the grid in Touring class.
Round 1 of the championship was an interesting one, with all cars starting the grid with slicks and the rain came down pouring as soon as the cars made their rounds toward the green flag. The wet and slippery condition was good for the team as Gary and Tom Kwok had a One - Two finish. "I am thrilled to get the first win of the year this early in the season with my brother finishing just behind me, we have come a long way in this series" said Team Owner and Driver Gary Kwok. "My Civic is a new addition to the team this year, and it is not bad for a first race." commented Driver Tom Kwok.
Round 2 of the championship had Gary Kwok starting in the 2nd row behind the Super Touring and Tom Kwok in the 3rd row just behind Gary. Gary and Tom finished again One and Two on Sunday. Tom had problems keeping the GTI behind him as the Turbo engine was too fast for the Civic K20 engine on the straights. However, Tom manages to regain the position with a brilliant drive and a fastest lap time of 1:34:491. Jonathan finished in 8th position on Sunday despite starting the grid last.
The team is looking forward to the ICAR weekend to build on this weekend's success.
