Cebu Pacific Air by KCMG heads to the largest city of China as the 2nd event of Formula Masters gets underway at Shanghai International Circuit on May 25-26. The team aims to gain stronger results following the successful first event in Zhuhai which produced two podiums finishes by Akash Nandy.
Nandy and Hong Kong Chinese teammate, Ronald Wu preview Rounds 4, 5 and 6 of the new entry level Formula series as an opportunity to contend for championship points. Both drivers are hopeful that victory will be imminent in the upcoming races in Shanghai.
The Cebu Pacific Air by KCMG team arrived in Shanghai early this week in preparation for the highly technical circuit. KCMG Deputy Managing Director John O’Hara is in Shanghai to oversee the team’s preparations for Formula Masters’ 2nd event. O’Hara states, “We are happy with how the team performed in Zhuhai and it shows how Akash and Ronald are very determined to fight for strong results. Also, motivated by the recent partnership that we have forged with Cebu Pacific Air, the team will is eager to build on the positive start we have made.”
Akash Nandy, who concluded his Zhuhai outing with two podium finishes, is delighted to be in Shanghai after a one week break from racing. “I’m really looking forward to come to Shanghai for Formula Masters second round. The team and I have had a good own week off to recover and we will be back pushing even harder as well.”
Meanwhile Ronald Wu is also looking forward to the upcoming race weekend in his home circuit. “Compared to Zhuhai, Shanghai is a much longer and complicated circuit, and without pre-season testing like Zhuhai, it would be extremely important to get the most out of the Thursday practice session. The aim is to keep learning and improve from Zhuhai, and this being my home race would definitely provide extra motivation. I’m extremely looking forward to compete on an F1 circuit.”
