Jason Zhang retains controversial victory

The CTCC Committee decided to retain Jason Zhang as the winner of the first CTCC race of 2015. But the Kia Racing driver has received a five-place grid penalty for the next round at the Shanghai International Circuit.

According to a statement released by the CTCC Committee, Jason Zhang pushed the back of Zou Shi Rui’s Honda on the final lap, a move defined as an avoidable “excessive attack”.

The Kia driver claimed the first Super Production class victory of the 2015 season, with Chang’an Ford FRD Team’s Andy Yan and DHRT’s Henry Ho finishing second and third.

The second round of CTCC will be held on June 27th at the Shanghai International Circuit.
