CIK-FIA WORLD KF1 CHAMPIONSHIP - MACAU, 18th-2st 10 2012<br />
IN THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF MACAU, TOM JOYNER (ON A LH CHASSIS<br />
DESIGNED BY LEWIS HAMILTON) ACHIEVES AN AWESOME DOUBLE WIN<br />
EXCELLENT DOUBLE WIN FOR TOM JOYNER ON THE CHASSIS PRODUCED BY <strong>CRG</strong> AND WITH THE BMB<br />
ENGINE IN THE FIRST TWO FINALS OF THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. ALSO MAX VERSTAPPEN (<strong>CRG</strong>-TM)<br />
GAINS THE PODIUM IN RACE 1 AS WELL AS JORDON LENNOX-LAMB (<strong>CRG</strong>-BMB) IN RACE-2. GREAT<br />
EXPECTATIONS FROM THE OTHER TWO FINALS, WHICH AWARD THE CIK-FIA WORLD TITLE, ON SUNDAY.<br />
Macau-Coloane. Awesome double win of the young British champion Tom Joyner in the<br />
first two finals on Saturday in Macau, in the last round of the CIL-FIA World KF1<br />
Championship. Not a bad result at all for a driver at his debut on this winding circuit near<br />
the shore of the South China Sea. He immediately managed to express himself at top level<br />
on his LH chassis produced by <strong>CRG</strong> and powered by a Bmb engine prepared by the Czech<br />
technicians of KVS.<br />
FIRST WIN IN A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FOR LH. It is also the maiden victory in a CIK-FIA<br />
world championship race for the chassis designed by the F1 champion Lewis Hamilton for<br />
the Italian factory. The LH Racing Team, capably guided by the Swedish Richard Kaell<br />
Franchini, is at his first racing season.<br />
Anyway, in this last round of the world championship there were all the makings for a great result<br />
for <strong>CRG</strong> in Macau, especially after the time trials on Saturday morning, which confirmed the good<br />
results achieved during free practice on Thursday and Friday.<br />
With Max Verstappen in pole position, Felice Tiene and Tom Joyner in second row, followed by<br />
Davide Forè in third, and then Jordon Lennox-Lamb and Eddy Tinini in 10th and 11th position,<br />
<strong>CRG</strong> stood a good chance to achieve another "hat trick" like the one achieved in Zuera, in the<br />
recent KF2 World Cup won by Tiene.

UNPREDICTABLE FINAL RESULT IN FINAL-1. The first of the two finals finished in an<br />
unpredictable way, because of a crash between David Forè and his teammate Felice Tiene at the<br />
third of the twenty-one laps in programme. The two drivers were occupying the first positions and<br />
still battling for the world title.<br />
So, it was Max Verstappen who got the best result for <strong>CRG</strong> gaining the second step of the<br />
podium, with Jordon Lennox-Lamb fifth and Eddy Tinini achieving an excellent eighth place.<br />
JOYNER WINS IN FINAL-2. In final 2, Tom Joyner pulled away toward victory, after exchanging<br />
positions with Max Verstappen at the beginning of the race. The latter was then forced to retire in<br />
the second half of the race for a technical failure.<br />
However, beside Joyner on the podium of Final 2 there was Jordon Lennox-Lamb, excellent<br />
third behind the leader of the ranking Flavio Camponeschi (Tony Kart-Vortex), who missed the<br />
start of Final 1 for a problem with his starter. Felice Tiene did his part recovering as far as the fifth<br />
place, closely followed by Davide Forè. Eddy Tinini, after an astonishing eighth place in Final 1,<br />
this time had to be content with the 18th position, even though he showed to be at his ease on this<br />
track.<br />
So, the Championship will be decided on Sunday, after Finals 3 and 4 of this thrilling weekend.<br />
Nothing is decided yet and only three results out of four will be taken into consideration.
