Smart driving makes for Ma-rvellous win.

Hong Kong's Philip Ma drove a clever race to take home the Deutsch Bank Private Banking Super Car Race trophy in Macau (November 19) today.

Ma, 37, started the race third on the grid after an incident in the first lap forced a re-start and watched in amazement as race favourite, Kevin Wong in a Porsche 911 GT3R, jumped the start from pole. Wong was subsequently handed a 10-second stop-and-go penalty and finished the race fourth.

"When I realized Kevin had jumped the start, I knew he might be penalized and as long as I kept close behind him and did not do anything risky, I had a chance of winning," Ma said.

Ma's wish came true as he quickly weaved his way through the traffic in the reduced eight lap race for the chequered flag. Adrian Fu in a Porsche GT3R and Dick Lau in a Porsche 933 RSR finished in second and third place respectively.

The win consolidates Ma's Guia Circuit ambitions, where in five trips, he finished only once outside the podium.

Budding movie starlet and Thai teenage pop icon Anongnad Tanwimon dominated the Golden Harvest. Mitsubishi.Jackie Chan Cup, roaring away to victory with experienced Hong Kong driver Charles Kwan as her navigator.

Kwan, a veteran Macau campaigner steered the 19-year-old Tanwimon of Bangkok in her debut attack on the Guia circuit to clinch the three-lap race, almost a minute ahead of her nearest rival.

The Thai beauty was in devastating form when she eclipsed the field on the second lap, clocking up 3mins 54.633secs in her Mitsubishi Lancer to open up an impressive 42.047 second appearance.

Her time was enough to secure the chequered flag and leave Singapore's Zoe Tay and Ken Ma of Hong Kong in second place, while Malaysia's Joey Tan and Rui Clemente of Macau took third place, 0.970 seconds later.
