Chen Jun San secured a win in the 2011 Asian Touring Car Series Team Championship for Team AAI-Buddy Club. Chen claimed the win in the final Asian Touring Car Series race at Sentul International Circuit held as part of the Indonesian Series of Motorsport last Sunday. He crossed the finish line completing 15 laps in 25 minutes 17.458 seconds. Japanese driver Hideharu Kuroki of Team IMSP claimed second while Hong Kong driver Kenneth Lau claimed third. Chen’s teammate, Chen Han Chen, crossed the line in fourth to also collect valuable points for Team AAI-Buddy Club.
Chen was pushing hard throughout the weekend despite already securing the 2011 Asian Touring Car Series Championship after Round 8 last July. The Taiwanese wanted to make sure he can claim the Team Championship for his team, to thank them for their hard work throughout the Season and giving him the best car time and again.
For Kuroki, claiming second for a second time today was the best he could do. Despite piling the pressure on race leader, he was unable to catch up to Chen once Chen moved past him. But Kuroki was still happy for a good weekend and enjoyed the Indonesian circuit. Crossing the line in third, Lau of J.A.S Motorsport, claimed a total of 20 points to finish the season second in the 2011 Asian Touring Car Series Championship. “I appreciate all that the team has done. For me second is nothing because I want to win. The 2011 Asian Touring Car Series season is supported by Hankook Tyres and organised by Motorsport Asia.
