MISFORTUNE HO-PIN TUNG IN 6 HOURS RACE SHANGHAI

Ho-Pin Tung and his teammates finished 6th in the LMP2 category in the FIA-WEC six hours endurance race at the circuit of Shanghai, China, this Sunday. The Morgan Judd, fielded by the Oak Racing Team, competed with the Dutch Chinese, David Cheng and Mark Patterson at the wheel. In qualifying it still looked priomising for the team. Ho-Pin Tung drove fifth fastest laptime overall. But the race only brought disappointment . Brake problems, leading to overheated front brakes made the team loose a lot of places as a result of the many pit stops which had to be made. ´This is racing,´ Ho-Pin Tung stated after six long hours,´technical woes can overshadow sports efforts.´
