Mathéo Tuscher wins again

Mathéo Tuscher won both races at the latest Formula Pilota China Series meeting last weekend, the battle again fought out on the Grand Prix circuit in Shanghai. With six races of the 12 race series completed, he leads the championship ahead of the more experienced Luis Sá Silva. The rules are very similar to the Italian Formula Abarth series, with one qualifying session and two races each weekend. The grid for the second race is formed based on the fastest lap set by each driver in race one.

Qualifying session
1^st	Mathéo Tuscher (CZ)	2:20.774	Jenzer Welch Asia Racing
2^nd	Chi Cong Li (CHIN)	2:21.369	Asia Racing Team
3^rd	Dustin Sofyan (INA)	2:21.434	Eurointernational

A heavy downpour just before qualifying left the track soaked and the session was run on rain tyres. Despite the challenging conditions Matthéo claimed pole position.

Race One
1^st	Mathéo Tuscher (CZ)	Jenzer Welch Asia Racing	25:36.097
2^nd	Luis Sá Silva (ANG)	Asia Racing Team	Gap	2.711
3^rd	Chi Cong Ly (CHIN)	Asia Racing Team	Gap	17.269

Despite more rain and the resulting very tricky conditions Mathéo drove a good tactical race to claim victory although he had to resist repeated attacks by Sá Silva.

Grid Race Two
1^st	Mathéo Tuscher (CZ)	2:23.117	Jenzer Welch Asia Racing
2^nd	Luis Sá Silva (ANG)	2:23.441	Asia Racing Team
3^rd	Dustin Soyan (INA)	2:23.965	Eurointernational

In race two Mathéo again managed to win the race starting from pole. However, he stalled at the start and ended up 4^th, staging a courageous recovery drive to come through to yet another victory.
