Hammam makes a strong comeback winning in his Lamborghini LP560

It was a spectacularly exciting end to the GT Asia Series Round 9 race at Autopolis International Circuit where Arrows Racing’s Lamborghini LP560 driven by Tunku Hammam claimed the win.

Round 9 began with a rolling start where the Lamborghini LP560 of Dilantha Malagamuwa set the pace from pole, but as soon as the lights turned green, he was flanked by the Ferrari F458 of Mok Weng Sun and the Porsche 997 GT3 R of Eddie Yau who started in second and fourth respectively. Right behind them, Hammam made a good start and was ahead of the lone Audi R8 LMS of Frank Yu who was closely followed by Team Clearwater Racing’s Lamborghini LP560 driven by David Lai.

A third and fourth group was formed behind with two Lamborghini Gallardo’s driven by Keith Chan and Siu Yuk Lung, followed by a trio of Porsche’s, a 997 Cup 3.8 with Kenji Kobayashi, a 997 GT3 R with Sasha Chu and a 997 Cup 3.8 of Shim Ching in the mid pack.

Closing in the rear were Billy Fung in the Lamborghini Gallardo, the Ginetta G50 of Nigel Farmer, Aston Martin Vantage N24 of Simon Waters and Anthony Chan in the Lotus Evora.

Another win for Lamborghini LP560 with Malagamuwa in Round 10

It was another great win by a Lamborghini LP560 this time from pole to flag with Dilantha Malagamuwa at the wheel in Round 10 of the GT Asia Series. The Series is at the Autopolis International Circuit, Japan in support of the 2011 Autobacs Super GT Round 7.

Malagamuwa made a perfect start in the Dilango Racing Lamborghini and went on undisturbed throughout the 20-lap race. The Sri Lankan opened up a gap at the start and consistently kept his pace to leave the Ferrari F458 of Mok Weng Sun more than 6 seconds behind him by lap 7.

Then at the pit-stop window, Malagamuwa kept it quick and clean and went out ahead of Mok, keeping a steady pace all the way to the chequered flag.

“It was a good start. I was holding the pace. As soon as the red light went out I released the brakes and I knew the tyres were cold but I just wanted to get a good lap. I pulled away from the first 2-3 laps and I had a good pace and managed to maintain it.
