KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 (Bernama) -- Malaysian race car driver Leona Chin made headlines with her outstanding performance at the China Circuit Sprint Challenge (CCSC), after securing two victories last weekend.

Even sweeter, Leona dominated both Race 3 and Race 4 by outpacing nine top male drivers in the BMW M235i one-make race.

The 37-year-old’s double triumph began last Saturday when she secured pole position for Race 3 in the qualifying round, held at the Tianjin V1 International Circuit. 

The momentum that Leona had continued the next day where she demonstrated her superior driving skills and maintained her position from start to finish to take Race 3.

“Her win in Race 3 placed her on pole for Race 4, held on the afternoon same day where she managed to secure another win despite the challenges of overheating cars and intense competition,” it said in a statement today.
