Dilantha second in Malaysia

Champion Sri Lankan driver Dilantha Malagamuwa hit the podium again last Sunday at the Sepang Formula I track in Malaysia finishing second in the Aston Martin Asia Cup Round Three behind Kotha Sasaki of Japan.

Malagamuwa is still leading the championships points table thanks to the two victories he achieved in Shanghai, China a few weeks ago in the first two rounds.

Malagamuwa went off in the sixth lap losing valuable time while trying to overtake the race leader Sasaki who started off in the pole position.

However he hit back determinedly finishing in an overall time of 31:16.199 secs. to complete the twelve lap race just little more than two seconds behind the winner.

The fourth round of the championships held in the evening on Sunday was a bad experience for the Sri Lankan driver who faced an accident and finished only sixth-his worst finish in the championships so far.
