Macau China - The 15 year old youngster Gabby Chaves took the maximum race points at the famous and most difficult street course of the world in Macau China during the last race meeting of the BMW pacific series.
With a 22 car grid where 15 of the drivers belonged to the FBMW pacific series and the other 7 were guest drivers from the FBMW European series Gabby started 7th from his short qualifying session, a qualifying session that ended by lap 4 after hitting the wall.
The race: anybody knows Macau? Two words - spectacularly lunatic! Gabby's start was one of the best he ever had, minimum of wheelspin and right away going to work, catching up from P7 to P4 just before the Lisboe Turn One. What a sight! Others scrambled, he's trying to catch the three foreign guest drivers, not running for points.
Fighting at times the P5 driver, who seemed to have lost interest in this after the third lap, Gabby just walked away and put on times under the '30's marks. The end of the race, which was marked by a red flag situation, after some blue, yellow, double yellow and safety car, saw Gabby finish a solid 4th place overall and 1st among the FBMW Pacific Championship drivers. This was the highlight of our season with Gabby - the only real crash and the placing he so deserves. Congratulations to Gabby Chaves!
