Squadra Corse have just announced that they will field an
all-Hong Kong line-up at the wheel of their second Ferrari
360 GTC at this weekend's closing FIA GT Championship race
at Zuhai in China.
Hong-Kong based drivers Matthew Marsh and Charles Kwan, the
principality's best-known sportscar racer, will be behind
the wheel.
They will back
up the similar leading N-GT entry from GPC which will be
piloted by Italian team regular, Christian Pescatori, joined
again by Brazilian JMB Racing refugee, Jaime Melo.
For Marsh and Kwan, this will be only the second time these
two leading Eastern driver's will have shared a car, after
being paired together in a BMW during last year's Sepang 12
Hours.
Charles is Hong
Kong's most famous sports car racer. He is the reigning
Carrera Cup Asia Champion, a multiple touring car champion,
and a winner of the Guia race at Macau.
The 41-year-old
can count on top-level sportscar racing experience, having
competed in the highly competitive Japanese GT Championship
during 2002.
