Tyson Sy ended practice for the Macau Asian Formula Renault challenge in an impressive third place, one place in front of Yann Clairay with Jim Kato and Luca Persiani the only drivers above him on the time sheets. Dado Pena finished in the last turn wall after only one lap, a multi car collision giving him no where to go.

Sy remains confident he can stay at the pointed end of the grid after Friday Morning’s qualifying session. This is his second year racing in the Macau Formula Renault and he is making good use of his circuit experience.

Pena's crashed car

Pena was a victim of the notorious Macau bad luck. “As I came through the last turn two cars went off in front of me leaving the track blocked and no where for me to go but into the tyre wall. Another car then hit me from behind”. His team, CHAMP, are confident the car will be ready to qualify but Pena will have an uphill struggle with only one laps experience of the Guia Circuit. “My main aim is to learn the track for F3 next year so I hope I have no more bad luck and that improve my times over the weekend”
