16Even after Formula 1's first visit to Shanghai International Circuit, it was already acknowledged by

the sport's insiders as the best of the recent spate of new circuits.

Ultra-modern, with space aplenty for overtaking and outstanding viewing for the 200,000

spectators, supported by superb facilities for the teams and drivers, it is small wonder that the circuit

made such an extraordinary impact.

The site that was chosen in the Jiading district, 20km from Hongqiao international airport and 30km

north-west of the city centre in an area being developed as Shanghai International Auto City,

along with an automobile manufacturing base, exhibition and sales facilities.

Less than half of the 5.3 square kilometre site is covered by the circuit, with the rest to be

developed for other recreational uses.

Once the construction plans had been approved, there were only 18 months to build the circuit

and its infrastructure, requiring a workforce of 7000 to work around the clock. If the timescale wasn't

trouble enough, the site provided further problems as it was a swamp requiring specialist building

techniques to make it stable, with the building of 40,000 support piles, from 40 to 80m in depth and

topped with a layer of polystyrene (EPS, extruded polystyrene). In order to fulfill the need for

polystyrene, the company had to purchase the entire stock available in the Asian market.

Circuit design expert Herrman Tilke headed the project, coming up with a layout that offered seven

left turns and nine rights, and a 200mph back straight leading into a hairpin that's good for

overtaking as it's unusually wide. The gentle banking at the ever-tightening opening sequence of

corners is also a hit, with Turn 13 being the opposite as it opens out onto the back straight.

People talk of how Tilke took his inspiration for the layout from the Chinese Shang character, which

means "above" and ties in with Shanghai. However, this was done unwittingly. Even before this, he

had incorporated local themes into the design. Based on China being a gateway to the Asia

Pacific region, some of the grandstands have a roof based on a lotus leaf. The team offices are

built on stilts above a lake are in imitation of the water gardens in Shanghai's Yu-yuan garden.

Although the circuit is unremittingly modern, the detailing on many of the buildings is in traditional

Chinese red and gold. After nightfall, though, the circuit becomes futuristic again, with blue lights

picking out the architectural extravagances.

CIRCUIT HISTORY

18/128

18The humble and historic Shanghai was a seaside fishing village and in time its gradual developmentled to it being granted County status in 1291 during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). Hence this

became the founding year of Shanghai. Today's Shanghai is a multi-cultural metropolis with both

modern and traditional Chinese features.

Shanghai is China's most cosmopolitan, comprehensive industrial and commercial city. It is ranked

number 1 in population, and population density for a Chinese city. With the development and

modernization, Shanghais tertiary industry is playing a more and more important role in economic

growth. As a tourist city, it attracts travelers from both home and abroad by its commercial activity

and regional culture rather than scenic beauty.

Bubbling Shanghai shows off every aspect of her unique glamour.

Modern Shanghai has some key areas of interest to visitors. The famous Bund is one of them which

symbolize the Shanghai combination of European and local culture. The Bund is along the

Huangpu River, in the other side, there is Worldwide Building Complex that consists of 52 exotic

buildings. While looking across the Huangpu River, Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Jinmao Tower and

Shanghai World Financial Center are located in the center of Pudong Trade Zone, they composed

the magically modernistic skyline of Shanghai.

For those who treasure a traditional Chinese feeling, Yuyuan Garden & Bazaar is a must. The

labyrinth-like block was once the city center of ancient Shanghai, and still retains the old

architecture and a crowded flavor nowadays. It is a nice place to taste various delicious Chinesefoods or discover unique Chinese handicrafts and clothes. In the middle of the block rests a classic

Chinese private garden, the Yuyuan Garden, now a must see tourist attraction in Shanghai, where

one can peer into the original Chinese lifestyle in ancient times, a rare opportunity to do so in such

a modern city as Shanghai.

Xin Tian Di, the most fashionable area cultivated in the distinctive Shikumen Buildings, the

architectural styles of both west and east from the 1920s and 1930s Shanghai, has become the

popular place to go for the night life. Every building has a modern interior and has become an

international gallery, fashion shop, themed restaurant, coffee house or bar. The arrival of more and

more boutiques, designer shops and luxury goods stores continually adds to the enjoyment of Xin

Tian Di.

In 2010, Shanghai will again stand in the spotlight of the world, and the city will become the host of

World Expo.

The World Expo is the symbol and celebration of the human civilization. By choosing, Shanghai, the

powers at be at the World Expo selection committee, supports Chinas leadership as host country,

but also has received faith and support from the international community.

The exciting daily life here is already showy and influential enough that such international sports

events such as the Tennis Master Cup, IAAF Golden League, and above all, Formula 1 Chinese

Grand Prix rush to launch their debuts in the recent years. The World Expo will show Shanghai rich

culture and prosperity to the world. All citizens of Shanghai are looking forward to the prospect of

warmly welcoming all visitors from the rest of the world.

2010 Sporting and Technical Regulations

Though not as dramatic as the rule changes introduced for the 2009 season, the revisions for 2010

could still have a significant impact on the teams relative performance

RefuellingThe biggest change for the 2010 season is the banning of refuelling during races for the first timesince 1993. Pit stops will not become a thing of the past, however, as drivers still have to use both

dry-weather tyre compounds during a Grand Prix. Of course, those stops will now be much

quicker, quite possibly under four seconds.

The change requires cars to possess a much larger fuel tank - up from around 80 litres tosomething nearer 250 - and has a major effect on race strategy, with drivers having to pay moreattention to tyre and brake conservation. To accommodate the bigger tank, the cars are likely tofeature wider rear bodywork and a longer wheelbase. As a result, the weight distribution will be

quite different to that of a 2009 car.

Points systemIn place of the previous structure, which saw the top eight drivers scoring 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1point respectively, from 2010 the top ten finishers in a Grand Prix score points. The change hasbeen introduced as a result of the expanded grid of 12 teams. Under the new system, the racewinner takes 25 points, with 18 and 15 being awarded for second and third places respectively.

The next seven finishers will score 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 and 1 point respectively.

WeightThe minimum weight of the car has been raised from 605kg to 620kg. The initial thinking behindthis was to offset the disadvantage faced by taller, heavier drivers in KERS-equipped cars (theadditional weight of the KERS system meant they were left with less flexibility in terms of weightdistribution than their lighter rivals). By mutual agreement, however, teams are now not expectedto run KERS in 2010.

Narrower front tyres

When slick tyres returned to Formula One racing in 2009, the tyre size remained unchanged. Interms of contact area, this meant that the fronts gained proportionally more grip than the rears.

This has been addressed for 2010, with front tyre width reduced from 270mm to 245mm, thushelping to bring back a better grip balance. Also, the ban on refuelling means cars will be around100kg heavier at the start of a race than in 2009, so Bridgestone will use slightly harder tyrecompounds to compensate.

No wheel fairingsTeams are no longer allowed to use the wheel rim covers that became so commonplace in 2009.

Their removal means one less thing to go wrong when pit crews are trying to change of set of tyresin less than four seconds, and could also aid overtaking by making the airflow immediately behindcars less turbulent.

More teamsTwelve teams - 24 cars - will feature on the grid in 2010. This means a slight alteration to theknockout qualifying session, which will now see seven drivers (as opposed to five) eliminated in Q1

and Q2, leaving ten to fight it out for pole in Q3. The ban on refuelling means that cars will qualifyon low fuel in all three phases of the session.

TestingIf a team declares that one of their current race drivers is to be substituted by a driver who has notparticipated in an F1 race in the two previous calendar years, one day of track testing will now bepermitted, on an approved circuit not being used for a Grand Prix in the current season. This is toavoid scenarios such as that seen in 2009 when Jaime Alguersuari made his Formula One debutwith Toro Rosso having only previously driven an F1 car in straight-line testing.

In another minor change, teams will be allowed six rather than eight days of straight-line aerotesting per season. They will also have the option of substituting any of these days for four hours of

wind tunnel testing with a full-scale (rather than the normal 60 percent-scale) model.

The tyres:

TYRE USAGE

DRY WEATHERDry weather tyres are used when the track is dry. Each tyre, whether

front or rear, has four slicks which run around the tyre.

INTERMEDIATES

Intermediate tyres have a full tread to enable water to be dispersed,

in much the same way as a road car.

WETSWet tyres are similar to intermediate tyres but are more heavily

treaded to allow more water to be dispersed.

The engine of the car may be a maximum of 2.4 litres and must be normally aspirated.

The engine must be 8 cylinders.

The tyres used must be declared at the start of an event and uniquely marked.

There are four types of tyres a team may use, depending on weather conditions.

The total dimensions of the car must not exceed the maximum dimensions determined by the FIA.

The overall width of the car may not exceed 180cm.

With the exception of rollover structures, no part of the car may be higher than 95cm from the

reference plane.

The weight of a car (including driver) may not be less than 620kg. A car may have a maximum of seven forward gears (a minimum of four) and MUST have a reverse

gear.

Anti-lock brakes and power braking are forbidden.

The flags:

Flag Meaning

Formula One has one of the most complicated rulebooks in all of sport - here is a summary some of

the most important regulations:

Livery

Teams must run their two cars with essentially the same race livery throughout the season and must

seek prior approval for any major changes.

In addition there are a number of requirements that apply to liveries for all cars and teams. Every

car must carry its drivers race number, which must be clearly visible from the front of the car, and

the drivers name must appear on the external bodywork of the car. The teams name or emblem

must also appear on the nose of the car.

To help distinguish between a teams two cars, the onboard cameras which sit on top of the main

rollover structure are coloured differently. On the first car it must be predominantly fluorescent red

and on the second car it must be fluorescent yellow.

Classification

A commonly asked question is how drivers can be given a placing in the official race results even

though they retired before the end of the race. The explanation can be found within the FIA

regulations regarding classification.

These state that any driver who completed at least 90 per cent of the race distance will be

classified, whether or not he was running when the winner took the chequered flag.

If a race is stopped before the full distance and a result is declared, the classification will reflect therace order at the end of the lap two laps prior to that on which the race was stopped (see

Suspending and resuming a race). For example, if a race is stopped on lap 60, the classification

will be as it was at the end of lap 58.

Driver changes and additional drivers

Teams may use up to four drivers during a season, all of whom may score points in the

championship. A driver change may be made with the permission of the stewards any time before

the start of qualifying. The new driver must use the engine and tyres allocated to the original driver.

On top of this, in each of Friday's two practice sessions teams may run additional drivers, though

each team is still limited to two cars. Any holder of a Super License may run as an additional driver,

but stewards must be informed of a team's plans before the end of initial scrutineering on the

Thursday prior to practice.

Driver penalties

Stewards have the power to impose various penalties on a driver if he commits an offence during a

race. Offences may include jumping the start, causing an avoidable accident, unfairly blocking

another driver, impeding another driver when being lapped, speeding in the pit lane etc.

The stewards may impose any one of three penalties on any driver involved in an Incident:

a) A drive-through penalty. The driver must enter the pit lane and re-join the race without stopping;

b) A ten second time penalty. The driver must enter the pit lane, stop at his pit for at least ten

seconds and then re-join the race.

c) A drop of any number of grid positions at the driver's next Event.


117/128

117

However, should either of the penalties under a) and b) above be imposed during the last five laps,

or after the end of a race, b) below will not apply and 20 seconds will be added to the elapsed

race time of the driver concerned in the case of a) above and 30 seconds in the case of b).In the case of the drive-through penalty and the ten-second time penalty, a driver has three laps,

from the time his team is notified, to enter the pits (failure to do so may result in a black flag and the

driver being excluded from the race).

The only exception is when the penalty is awarded during the final five laps of the race. In this case

the driver may continue and complete the race. However, 25 seconds will be added to his total

race time, which may drop him considerably in the final race standings.

Officials

At every Grand Prix meeting there are seven key race officials who monitor and control theactivities of the stewards and marshals to ensure the smooth and safe running of the event in

accordance with FIA regulations.

Five of the seven officials are nominated by the FIA. These are the race director (currently Charlie

Whiting), a permanent starter and three additional stewards, one of whom is nominated chairman.

The additional stewards must be FIA Super Licence holders.

The other two key officials are nominated by the National Sporting Authority (ASN) of the country

holding the race. These are the clerk of the course and an additional steward (who must be a

national of the host nation). Both must be FIA Super Licence holders.

The clerk of the course works in consultation with the race director, who has overriding authority.

The race director directs the clerk of the course on how to instruct the stewards during the various

practice, qualifying and race sessions.

The race director and the clerk of the course, as well as the FIA technical delegate (currently Jo

Bauer), must all be present at the event from 10am on Thursday (Wednesday in Monaco) onwards.

The race director, the clerk of the course and the chairman of the stewards must all be in radio

contact while cars are on track. Furthermore, at these times the clerk of the course must be in the

race-control headquarters and in radio contact with all of the marshals posts.

Parc Ferme

Parc ferme is an enclosed and secure area in the paddock where the cars are weighed and any

other checks deemed necessary by race officials are made. Teams must leave their cars here from

within three and a half hours of the end of the qualifying on Saturday until five hours before the start

of the formation lap on Sunday.

However, the cars are deemed to be under parc ferme conditions for a much longer period - from

the time they first exit the pits during qualifying until the start of the formation lap immediately prior

to the race.

Under these conditions, the work teams may carry out on their cars is limited to strictly-specified

routine procedures, which can only be performed under the watchful eye of the FIA Technical

Delegate and race scrutineers. Minor front wing adjustments are also allowed, but little else. These

controls mean that teams cannot make significant alterations to the set-up of a car between

qualifying and the race.

The only exception to this is when there is a "change in climatic conditions", for example a dry

qualifying session followed by a wet race, or vice versa. In this case the FIA will give the teams

permission to make further appropriate changes to their cars.

world championships, according to the following scale:

1st : 25 points

2nd : 18 points3rd : 15 points

4th : 12 points

5th : 10 points

6th : 8 points

7th : 6 points

8th : 4 points

9th : 2 points

10th : 1 point

(The only exception to this is when a race is suspended and cannot be restarted. If less than 75 per

cent of the race distance has been completed half points are awarded, and if less than two laps

have been completed, no points are awarded.)

For example, if in a given race Lewis Hamilton finishes second for McLaren and team mate Jenson

Button fifth, then Hamilton and Button score 18 and ten points respectively towards the drivers

championship, while McLaren score 28 points (18 plus 10) towards the constructors championship.

The drivers' and constructors' championship titles are awarded to the driver and constructor who

score the most points over the course of the season. In the case of a dead heat for a

championship place then the driver or constructor with the higher number of superior race results

will be awarded the place.

Spare cars, engines and gearboxes

FIA regulations state that drivers may have no more than two cars available for use at any one

time. Spare cars are no longer allowed, though teams may bring additional chassis which can be

built up in the event of a race chassis being damaged beyond repair.

If a driver switches car between qualifying and the race then he must start the race from the pit

lane. A change of car is not allowed once the race has started.

There are also restrictions on engine and gearbox use. Each driver may use no more than eight

engines during a championship season. Should a driver use more than eight engines, he will drop

10 places on the starting grid of the event at which an additional unit is to be used.

Each driver may use no more than one gearbox for four consecutive events. Every unscheduled

gearbox change will require the driver to drop five places on the grid at that meeting. Every

subsequent unscheduled gearbox change will require the driver to drop five places on the grid.If a driver fails to finish a race due to reasons beyond his or his team's control, he may start the next

meeting with a different gearbox without incurring a penalty.

Testing

As the sport's technical demands have grown in recent years, so too has the importance of testing.

But with the FIA ever mindful of rising costs, since 2009 teams have been limited to 15,000 test

kilometres during a calendar year. Young driver training (one three-day test per year) and

promotional events do not count towards this tally.

Testing can only take place at FIA-approved sites and, ahead of a session, teams must inform the

governing body of their schedule so that an observer can be appointed if deemed necessary. All

cars must be fitted with the standardised, FIA-approved Electronic Control Unit during tests.


120/128

120

Since 2009, testing during the race season itself has been banned (from the week preceding the

first Grand Prix to December 31), with the exception of a small number of straight-line aero tests.

There are also restrictions on wind tunnel testing - the scale models used may be no larger than 60

percent and speeds are limited to 50 metres per second.

Tyres

Formula One racing features a single tyre supplier, with all teams using identical Bridgestone rubber.

The advantages of this (over multiple tyre suppliers) include closer racing and reduced testing and

development costs.

At each Grand Prix every team is given access to two specifications of dry-weather tyre. Unless

conditions are wet, drivers must use both specifications during the race. A green band on the

sidewall of the softer compound allows spectators to distinguish which tyre a driver is on.

Over the race weekend, each driver has access to 14 sets of dry-weather tyres, four sets of

intermediate tyres and three sets of wet tyres.

Teams are free to use intermediate or wet tyres as they see fit during qualifying and the race.

However, during the preceding practice sessions, they may only be used if the track has been

declared wet by the race director. If a race is started behind the safety car due to heavy rain, the

use of wet tyres is compulsory.

All tyres are given a bar code at the start of the weekend so that the FIA can closely monitor their

use and ensure that no team is breaking regulations.

Safety car

The safety cars main function, as its name implies, is to assist in maintaining safe track conditions

throughout the Grand Prix weekend. It is driven by an experienced circuit driver and carries an FIA

observer who is in permanent radio contact with race control.

If an accident or incident occurs that is not severe enough to warrant suspending the race, but

which cannot be dealt with under yellow flags, then the safety car will be called on to the circuit to

slow the cars down.

It will come on to the circuit with its orange lights on and all drivers must form a queue behind it with

no overtaking allowed. When ordered to do so by the clerk of the course the observer in the car will

use a green light to signal to any cars between it and the race leader that they should pass. These

cars will continue at reduced speed and without overtaking until they reach the line of cars behind

the safety car.

The safety car shall be used at least until the leader is behind it and all remaining cars are lined up

behind him.Once behind the safety car, the race leader must keep within ten car lengths of it and

all remaining cars must keep the formation as tight as possible.

If the incident that brought out the safety car has blocked the pit straight, the clerk of the course

may direct the safety car to lead the field through the pit lane. Cars are free to stop at their pit

garage should this happen.

When the safety car is ready to leave the circuit it extinguishes its orange lights, indicating to the

drivers that it will peel off into the pits at the end of the current lap. The drivers then continue in

formation until they cross the start-finish line where green lights will indicate that they are free to

race again.

In exceptional circumstances, such as in extremely poor weather, a race may begin behind the

safety car, which will put its orange lights on at least a minute before the start to indicate this. When

those lights switch to green the safety car will lead the field around the circuit in grid order.

Overtaking on this first lap is not allowed, unless a car has a problem. The safety car will peel intothe pits at the end of the lap and drivers are free to race once they have crossed the line to

commence the next lap.


121/128

121

All laps completed behind the safety car count as race laps.

Race start procedure

Prior to every Grand Prix the teams and drivers must adhere to a very strict starting procedure. This

gets underway 30 minutes before the formation lap when the pit lane is opened.

Drivers are then free to complete a reconnaissance lap of the circuit before taking up their grid

positions. If a driver wishes to complete additional reconnaissance laps he must pass through the pit

lane each time in order to bypass the grid.

The pit lane closes 15 minutes prior to the formation lap. Any drivers still in the pit lane at this time will

have to start the race from there.

Ten minutes before the start the grid must be cleared except for team technical staff, race officials

and drivers. With three minutes to go all cars must have their wheels fitted (any car not complying

will receive a 10-second time penalty).

With a minute to go all cars must have their engines running. All personnel must then leave the grid

at least 15 seconds before the green lights come on to signal the start of the formation lap.

Any driver who has a problem immediately prior to the green light must raise his arm to indicate this.

Once the rest of the field has moved off marshals will push the car into the pit lane.

During the formation lap no practice starts are allowed. Overtaking is also forbidden unless passing

a car that has slowed due to a technical problem. Passed cars may in turn re-overtake in order to

regain their grid position if the problem is resolved during the course of the formation lap.

However, any driver who is still on the grid when all other cars have moved off on the formation lap,

but then subsequently gets away, may not re-pass cars to regain his grid position, but must instead

start from the back.

Once all cars have safely taken up their grid positions at the end of the formation lap five red lights

will appear in sequence at one-second intervals. These red lights are then extinguished to signal the

start of the race.

If a driver has a problem on the grid immediately prior to the start he must raise his arm and the

start will be aborted. A new formation lap, which will count towards the race distance, will then be

completed.

The only exceptions to these start procedures are connected to the weather. If it starts to rain in the

three minutes prior to the start then the abort lights will come on and the starting procedure will

revert to the 10-minute point to allow teams to change to appropriate tyres.

If the weather is exceptionally bad the race director may choose to abort the start and resume the

starting procedure only when conditions have improved. Alternatively, he may decide to start the

race behind the safety car.

Suspending and resuming a race

If a race is suspended because of an accident or poor track conditions then red flags will be shownaround the circuit. When this happens, the pit exit will be closed and all cars on track must proceed

slowly to the red flag line without overtaking and then stop in staggered formation with the leading


122/128

122

car at the front. Any driver pitting after the red flag signal will be given a drive-through penalty.

The safety car will then be driven to the front of the queue. While the race is suspended team

members may come onto the track to work on the cars, but refuelling is not allowed.

Cars that were already in the pits when the red flag signal was given may be worked on there.

These cars, and any that enter the pits while the race is suspended, may only rejoin the track once

the race has been resumed.

At least a ten minute warning will be given before the race is resumed behind the safety car, which

will lead the field for one lap before pulling into the pits. As usual, overtaking behind the safety car

is forbidden.

If for whatever reason it is impossible to resume the race, the rules state that the results will be

taken at the end of the penultimate lap before the lap during which the signal to suspend the race

was given.

Porsche Carrera Cup Asia 2010

With a rich and successful motorsport heritage spanning more than five decades, Porsche

first introduced its winning Carrera Cup concept to Asia in 2003. And, as with all Porsche

racing endeavours, it was an immediate triumph.

Just a month after the completion of the first-ever car, the Porsche 356 No. 1, won its

class in the debut race for the marque in Innsbruck, Austria. In 1951, the Porsche 356

Alu-Coupe took the first Le Mans class victory with an impressive average lap speed of

145kph. These first steps marked the start of a passion for motorsport which has so far

resulted in more than 28,000 race victories in nearly every motorsport series in theworld.

Despite its tremendous on-track success, Porsche does not build sports cars only to win

races. Development know-how gained through racing is invaluable to the evolution of

production automobiles and for Porsche, customer sports and innovation rank Number

One.

The first Porsche one-make racing series was the 944 Turbo Cup, introduced in 1986 in

Germany, and the idea of developing its own racing series around the iconic Porsche 911

was realised in 1990 with the introduction of the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany. Porsche

racing department developed the Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cup car for the series, and a new

chapter began.

The one-make concept, where racing skill is to the fore with all drivers competing in

identical cars under the same technical conditions, was an immediate success and the

Carrera Cup soon expanded globally. Today there are seven Carrera Cups worldwide:

Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Asia, Great Britain and Scandinavia.

The international Porsche Mobil1 Supercup, which supports the Middle East and European

rounds of the Formula One World Championship, began in 1993 and has quickly

established itself as the fastest and most competitive series of its kind.

On its debut at the start of the 2003 season, the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia immediately

took the region by storm, setting new standards in both competition quality and

organisational excellence. The rich motorsport heritage of Porsche immediately attracted

Asias leading racing drivers, with the likes of former works touring car driver Charles

Kwan of Hong Kong, and touring and single-seater champion Charoensukhawatana

Nattavude of Thailand taking up the challenge.

Its reputation quickly spread, grabbing the attention of European teams and drivers, with

British GT Champions Jonathan Cocker and Tim Sugden, former Formula 3 star DannyWatts and touring car ace Simon Harrison all wanting to impress in Asia.


125/128

125

In 2008, Supercup and German Carrera Cup star Christian Menzel joined the series and

two seasons later was crowned 2009 Porsche Carrera Cup Asia champion. Menzel, is back

in 2010 to defend his title, but with the likes of young star Rodolfo Avila with TeamJebsen, Australia Carrera Cup champion Craig Baird with Team PCS Racing, and Hong

Kongs Marchy Lee, it wont be easy. Further adding to the Class A mix is Jeffrey Lee of

Chinese Taipei competing with his Pauian Achiland team.

The bumper Class B entry includes Singaporean hotshot Yuey Tan, third in the category in

2009, who will compete with Wimobilize McElrea Racing Team. Team Kangshuns Ringo

Chong and Team PCS Racings Mok Weng Sun will also compete in Class B, along with

Hong Kong driver Mak Hing Tak of OMAK Team, Siu Tit Lung of LKM Racing, and Philip

Briandet, who will contest his first full Porsche Carrera Cup Asia season in 2010 with his

Shift2Neutral Racing team.

Newcomers to both Class B and the series include Hong Kong drivers Kenneth Lau and

Michael Choi with Dyna Ten Motorsport, as well as OpenRoad Racing drivers Marcel and

Francis Tjia and Christian Chia. Brothers Wayne and John Shen will both race for Modena

Motorsports, while Hong Kongs Morris Ku will compete with Team DAYCRAFT. Vietnam-

based Frenchman Jean-Marc Merlin is entered by Team J2M Racing, while Jacky Yeung of

Hong Kong is another newcomer to the series. Ross Lau of Canada and Max Chen of

Chinese Taipei will join the series for the opening rounds of the 2010 season.

Unlike other Carrera Cups, the Asian series operates on an arrive and drive basis, withprofessional technical support provided at each round by Malaysian-based EKS

Motorsport. EKS supplies each team with expert mechanics and supervisors to service

and maintain the cars, ensuring they are in pristine condition each time out.

However, one new change for 2010 is the option for drivers to enter with their own

teams, creating an even more exciting and competitive environment for the series.

This year marks another milestone for the series as the new Porsche 911 GT3 Cup debuts

for the 2010 season. The stronger, quicker and wider version of the superb new car will

contest seven of the 19 Porsche one-make series held this season across the world,including the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia.

Unique to Asia, the series operates two separate categories competing in the same race

but for two titles: Class A for professional racers and Class B for non-professionals. The

concept has proved a masterstroke. Each race sees two hard-fought battles for all-

important championship points, while the opportunity to race with professionals provides

the Class B drivers with invaluable experience as well as enormous incentive. Several non-

professional drivers have progressed to the Class A ranks within the series.

The core values associated with the Porsche name high performance, technical

achievement and exclusivity combined with the worlds most vibrant region, have madethe Porsche Carrera Cup Asia irresistible to drivers and racing fans alike.
