The strongest Hong Kong line-up ever: Dream team out for glory at 24 Hours of Dubai

Local racing legend Charles Kwan Siu-cheung has been coaxed out of retirement to join an all-star Hong Kong cast for next month’s 24 Hours of Dubai with one goal in mind: victory.

It’s the strongest Hong Kong line-up ever assembled as the 54-year-old opens a whole new chapter in local motorsport history that will see three generations of the city’s most successful racing drivers competing together in the all-new Audi R8 LMS GT4 car for the Dubai race from January 12 to 13.

Kwan joins established Hong Kong racing stars Marchy Lee Ying-kin, 41, Darryl O’Young, 37, Adderly Fong Cheun-yue, 27 and up-and-coming 22-year-old Shaun Thong in the Hong Kong “dream team” that will be representing the colours of Phoenix Racing Asia team for the race at the 5.39km Dubai Autodromo.

Kwan made a name for himself during the 1990s and early 2000s and will be forever remembered for his exploits at the Macau Grand Prix in 1993 when he won three races on the same weekend. He won the Macau Cup Race in a Group A BMW M3, the Supercar Race with a Porsche 911 Turbo and the Guia Race in a DTM BMW M3, an achievement that has not been matched by any other racing driver in the world to date.
