Singha Motor Sports Settles at Second in Sepang
Singha Motor Sport finished second in the pro-am category and seventh in the overall in the GT 3 competition of the Motul Sepang 12 Hours GT Challenge at the Sepang International Circuit on Sunday.
Spearheaded by Piti Bhirombhakdi on its latest Ferrari 488, the team also including Carlo van Dam of the Netherlands and Frank Yu of Hong Kong and Tanart Sathiensthirakul timed 12.03.55 hours. Hub Auto Racing won the pro am with 12.02.39 hours and settled at sixth in the overall.
The Thai team also reserved a podium spot last year by finishing at third in the pro am.
“We came into this event to test our new Italian customized car for the Blancpain GT Series next year. We did a pretty good job for the first test. But we still have a lot of work to do before the new season,” Piti said.
Van Dam said: “Actually we aimed for a better result but the second place is not so bad. It’s quite a good start for the new car.”
The overall title belonged to the Audi Sport Team Phoenix which timed 12:01.33.
