Eastern Creek, Australia – A1 Team China has scored its first ever podium finish at an A1GP event, finishing the Sydney Feature race in third place behind Germany and New Zealand. After taking the lead on lap ten as the rest of the field pitted, a quick stop for China saw the car leave the pit lane in sixth place, while the team’s strategy of waiting until later in the race for their mandatory tyre change meant that driver, Ho-Pin Tung, was able to move up the field as he benefited from the grip provided by his fresher tyres.
