Rounds 5 & 6

19-21 June, 2015

The second visit to Zhuhai 

International Circuit for the 

season was not the best in 

terms of results but Thomas 

learnt a great deal from the 

team around him which had 

additional race engineering 

support at the event. A solid 

performance in the second 

race clearly showed how 

Thomas continues to 

develop and mature as a 

racing driver despite his 

limited experience.

This was Thomas’s first visit 

to the  challengeng  Shanghai 

F1 International Circuit. By 

the final free practice on 

Friday he topped the Class B 

time sheets however all 

chances of success were 

blown away with the typhoon 

that brought torrential rain 

and high winds. A solid 

performance in the second 

race only spoilt by a safety 

car and red flag robbed 

Thomas of a sure podium 

finish. Thomas is excited 

about returning to Shanghai 

for the last race of the

The third and final visit for the seasson to Zhuhai International Circuit saw a podium finish in Race 1 and Thomas was holding

with confidence growing we are looking forward to the final round of the series in Shanghai where we have previously 

Shanghai. AFR Rounds 11 & 12

10-11 October 2015

By far my best performance of the year. Was very much on pace thanks to expert coaching and preparing well for the event  In 

Race 1 was battling for 3rd and went off with 2 corners to go. A rookie mistake but one I learnt from when I went on to grab third 

in Race 2. Had the officials been on the ball I would have finished on the top step of the podium! Anyhow a great year and time to 

plan for 2016.
