S’pore driver heads to Eurocup-3’s final round with chance of being overall winner
Ahead of an imminent move to Formula 3 next season, Singaporean race driver Christian Ho underlined his credentials by being crowned the rookies' champion of the Eurocup-3 series on Oct 6, with one round to go.
At the Jerez circuit in Spain, the 17-year-old started from pole to win the first race during which he also recorded the fastest lap - before finishing fifth in the second race, a result that was enough to seal his status as the top rookie ahead of 11 others in the 2024 season.
Ahead of the championship's eighth and final round in Barcelona in November, Christian, who competes for Campos Racing, is second in the overall standings with 202 points, 93 points ahead of the closest rookie and his teammate Valentin Kluss from Germany.
