The third round of the 2019 Arrowmax Cup was held at the ACO track in Hong Kong recently. In the Touring Modified class the battle for the overall would continue in A3, as three of the drivers still had the chance to take the overall victory. With TQ Topman yet to score a win, it was an important race. Due to the time of the day, the third A-main would have the most grip since “Happy hour” is just right on the dot.
