KC Motorgroup Ltd. (KCMG) returned to the Fanatec GT World Challenge Asia Powered by AWS top-10 at Okayama International Circuit, taking a strong sixth-placed finish in Round 10 of the 2023 campaign.
The driver duo of KCMG Founder Paul Ip and Italian Edoardo Liberati raced well throughout the weekend, which was the penultimate event of the season. Competing in the #22 Honda NSX GT3 EVO, Liberati put in a fantastic performance during qualifying for the second race to take third on the grid.
After a frustrating first event that saw the team claim 19th, Sunday was much more positive, as both drivers demonstrated their pace to bring the car home in sixth, a season-best result and a well-deserved return to the points.
EDOARDO LIBERATI
“I’m really happy with our best result of the season so far, it’s a great reward for the whole team to take a very strong P6 finish in such a competitive field. The Honda NSX GT3 EVO was competitive again and Paul did an incredible second stint, battling hard to secure the points.”
PAUL IP KCMG FOUNDER
“I’m delighted for the whole team, they’ve worked exceptionally hard this season, so to have a result like that is a great reward. Okayama is a tough circuit, but both Edo and I were comfortable in the Honda NSX GT3 EVO and were able to secure a P6 finish. I’m really happy with our performance and to return to the top-10!”
MATT HOWSON TEAM MANAGER
“We were quietly hopeful ahead of this weekend that the Honda NSX GT3 EVO would perform well at Okayama and that proved to be the case, as we had our strongest event of the season so far. To qualify third and finish sixth in a championship so competitive is not easy, and we’re delighted with the result. Edo and Paul both did amazingly well in intensely hot conditions, avoided any incidents and rewarded the team with a superb points finish and one which we’re very proud of.”
