The number one podium spot again proved elusive but Leona remarked, “Stay focus and never give up! Tough times don’t last, tough people do. I finished P2 again, it was a tough tight but I tried my very best. Not very happy but this is what competition is about: you win some and you lose some.”

The Malaysian racer has one final chance to beat the odds and land the coveted winner’s trophy at the last leg of the series which will take place at the Guangdong International Circuit on the 11-13 November.
