Since Jim Ka To performed brilliantly during the last two races, pressure has been applied to championship leader Geoffrey Kwong (PSR Team ). Before last race weekend , Geoffrey had a lead of 40 points . He was hoping to capture the season champion ahead of schedule and get prepared for the Formula V6 test organized by Renault Sport Technology (RST) at Paul Ricard. His lead is now down to 20 points. If Kato keeps up the good work , then the season suspense will be hold to the last round. The 2008 AFR has received strong support from Renault Sport Technologies (RST) in quite a few areas. The main areas include engine rebuilds and spare parts support. This has improved AFR's level of competition and has promoted equality.
