David Pun comes back with his Aston Martin for latest round of GTSSC at Shanghai
Thursday, November 04, 2021
The Shanghai International Circuit welcomes back the GT Super Sprint Challenge Series this weekend for what is their fifth round of their extended 2021 season as well as one of Uno Racing’s Aston Martin Racing V8 Vantage GT3’s for driver David Pun.
Having started the series with a class podium at the first round of the series way back in July, a further enforced break in motor racing events in China saw the teams wait until September when the team returned with two AMR Vantage GT3’s and a Vantage GT4 for the second round in Shanghai.
Since then, the team has skipped a round (for unknown reasons) before coming back at Uno Racing’s home track of Zhuhai – not in there AMR’s but with a pair of Audi R8’s!!
That transpired to be because of a testing incident with one of the cars prior to that round that left one car unrepairable in time for the race weekend with drivers Pun and Riokonig swapping over to two available Audi’s with Team X Works. At that round, the driver crews picked up an overall race win for Pun in Race 1 with a P3 for Riokonig before swapping fortunes in Race 2 with a P2 and P1 race win respectively later that weekend.
For this weekend’s fifth round, we understand from the team that still only one Aston Martin remains in a serviceable condition and will be raced by Evisu fashion boss David Pun whilst teammate Riokonig competes again in the Audi.
