Malaysian driver Eddie Lew took home his first win in Round 2 of the Asian Touring Car Series at Sepang International Circuit today. It was a good clean race in which 18 of the 25 starters completed the 10-lap outing.

Lew beat the Thai favourite, Jack Lemvard, who suffered from a tyre valve tear after a scuffle at the start of the race. Lemvard had to pit to change his right rear tyre and rejoined the race at the tail end and slowly climbed back up the ranks to finish seventh.
