After two consecutive years as runner-up, Andy Chang is finally a Macau Grand Prix winner.
It was Macau GP rookie Gerrard Xie that led early, his start from pole good enough that he could hold off a slipstreaming Charles Leong into Lisboa.
There was light contact between the pair, Xie narrowly getting through the right-hander with his lead in tact.After a lap of intense pressure Chang was able to charge past Leong to take over second place on the way to Lisboa on the fourth lap. He then bolted away from his teenage rival, Chang able to gap by nearly three seconds in the two laps that followed.
"I still can't believe I won the race," said Chang."I had a really good car. Thanks to the team for that. Everything was perfect."
