Thank you so much for the wonderful time. It's been an awesome experience and just the whole program has been great! I really have to thank SCEH and SCET for such a perfect opportunity.
I’m happy to have those guys there and race against them, it certainly made the tournament more fun for me.
The Final was the most excited part, the players were strong and our racing time were very closed too.
I am happy to be the champion of GT5 Asia Tournament, it is an honor to Singapore.
