myTukar Ambassador Leona Chin Shines at Asia GT Festival 2019

At the recent Asia GT Festival 2019 15 – 17 March, MyTukar.com ambassador, better known as Malaysian Motorsport Athlete, Leona Chin was in the thick of the action at the Sepang International Circuit. In her Silver Evolution 7 decked with myTukar.com emblem, she muscled her way to a third place finish against a stiff Super Street competition. She also participated in the less-fancied Saga Cup where she topped the Ladies category.

Leona, who was recently awarded the country’s Most Inspiring Female Motorsports Athlete, proved once again that she could stand up to the best on the grid, especially the male counterparts.

Despite an electrical issue on her Silver Samurai, teddy bear-cladded Evo7, Leona took a podium spot in race 2 thanks to some slick work by her team mechanics.

All in all, Leona’s starting weekend of racing was a decent warm-up for the most sought-after female racer in the country. A couple of podium finishes and an overall third place in the rankings weren’t bad at all for a start.

Up next, Leona aims to participate in the Malaysian Championship Series (MCS) for a full season. The MCS features 10 races over a span of five months. The MCS first round starts in April, with each round featuring two races. Leona’s race interests aren’t just for domestic events, but International as well. She is linked to the China GT series and Lamborghini Super Trofeo. Her next step is to secure sponsors for her race exploits and bring her sponsors to the wonderful world of motorsports, The MCS costs RM200,000 for the season, while the China GT and Lamborghini ST cost RM300,000 for a race weekend.

Leona’s determination and grit shine bright on the racetracks, which could in turn benefit her sponsors in many ways. Over the years, she has developed into quite a popular ambassador or spokesperson for renowned brands such as; Mitsubishi Motors, Petron, GoPro and more.  If you’re not part of the Leona bandwagon, then we suggest you search for her on the social media or YouTube, or better yet visit www.leonachin.com
