Also fought in Macau, the Asia-Pacific KF3 Championship was won by the Indian Jehan Daruvala, protégé of the Force India Formula 1 team.
Having taken pole position, winning three Qualifying Heats and then the Prefinal, Jehan Daruvala (Kosmic-Vortex) logically then took the Final of the Asia-Pacific KF3 Championship. The 14-year old Indian, from the Sahara Force India Academy established by the Formula 1 team, did not finally take command until just 400 metres from the chequered flag. Before that, Jehan had to fight tooth and nail with Sato Marino (Maddox-Parilla). Leading at the start of the Race, the Japanese gave the Indian as got as he got when the latter took the lead for a short time. And then, when he had practically won the battle, Sato Marino made a slight mistake which cost him the victory.
The duel between the two leaders completely eclipsed the fight among those following. Succeeding in escaping the pack mid-Race, the Japanese Joe Ishida (Kosmic-Vortex) took third place on the podium ahead of a trio consisting of the Hong Kong Driver Jacky Chan (CRG-BMB), the Thai Sasakorn Chaimongkol (Intrepid-TM) and the Singaporean Amin Noorzilan.
