Here is another good report from Jameson's own Racing Car Star, James Grunwell.

Rookie Grunwell wins Asian Championship

Pattaya based British racing driver James Grunwell completed an amazing treble here in Shanghai over the weekend, as he won 3 out of 4 races to secure the Asian Championship, the youngest driver ever to do so .
James' team mate in the Pizza Company Meritus Team, Earl Bamber, was not available for the week-end which made set up of the car even harder for Grunwell in the rainy conditions. However, this did not appear to effect James who had one goal in mind – to win the Asian title.
The pressure was on this weekend for Grunwell to bring home the Championship Trophy. In the first race Grunwell started in 2nd place but soon dominated the race. The second race saw some exiting moments but again Grunwell lead from start to finish. After the third race, as James crossed the line he knew the championship was his and there was a huge sigh of relief from the team as he got out of the car. The final race saw James' car set for drying conditions, however, down came the rain as the cars were lined up on the starting grid waiting for the lights to go off. A huge spin, almost hitting the wall and the car aqua planing along, meant the rookie driver could just about steer his car safely over the finishing line in 6th place. Grunwell said this was about the scariest racing weekend ever, the unreliable weather, a very slippery track and the late release of the V6 cars, meant there had been no practice or time to set up the 500hp cars properly.
The championship finished with James on 133 points, second was New Zealand driver Earl Bamber on 105 and third Chalez Ro of Australia with 89.
James' future now depends on continued support from Thailand's racing community and sponsorship.
Grunwell says: I am happy with a hat trick but the weekend would have been absolutely perfect if I could have brought home four first places and an overall trophy for the sponsors. I want to thank the RAAT, The Pizza Company and my family for their continued support. I will hopefully be testing Formula Master in Italy the middle of next month, and maybe the drive in the Speedcar Series will still come off for the winter season. A lot will depend on sponsorship, I am not from a wealthy family and without my sponsors all this would not have been possible."
