Muhammed Patel took another win at Suzuka for GPO Challenge this weekend, beating home title leader Scott Wilde. The championship battle now looks hellbent for going down to the wire as Wilde’s lead continues to be chopped! The Patel brothers continue to close down the Rothmans pairing of Cokor and Vincentjevic in the equally dramatic constructors battle.

Ryan Walker grabbed a popular maiden win in GPO Sprint with a gutsy drive to head off Stuart Fields and Ari Kesseli. This played into the hands of Fields who increases his lead over Malcolm Rice whom came in fourth, but this allows Rice Racing to close in the constructors after Michael Pienemann crashed out.

Full reports and results will be available during the week.

Muahammed Patel won the GPO Challenge Singapore GP after a race long battle with Janne Tanskanen. Patel had secured pole position but dropped to third at the start behind Tanskanen and Scott Wilde. When Wilde made a mistake and slipped to the back of the field, Patel harried Tanskanen all the way to the first round of stops where he leapfrogged the Finn. The two battled until the finish line with Ibahrim Patel taking the third podium spot.

A full race report with radio commentary for download will follow.
