Before this, we have no idea where is the Ordos International Circuit in Inner Mongolia, China. For now, we learned that this circuit in China is unique with combination of elevations, tricky bends and constantly-changing surface conditions make it the ultimate test for every racing driver.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For this time around, the 2012 Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Round 5 & 6 will be happening at Ordos International Circuit from July 6 to 8, 2012.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Arriving with a score to settle with the 3.751km track is championship leader Alexandre Imperatori of PICC Team StarChase. The Shanghai-based Swiss had a tumultuous outing in 2011 when the series made its debut there, with an incident and a resulting penalty decimating his points advantage at a crucial time in the season.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For reigning champion LKM Racing Team\u2019s Keita Sawa and Team Jebsen\u2019s Rodolfo Avila, currently second and fourth on the leaderboard respectively, it was a different story, with the pair taking a win apiece and Avila celebrating a maiden victory with his China Porsche dealer team.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The prospect of racing at the Ordos track is particularly daunting for the drivers for whom it will be new, such as Team Yongda Dongfang\u2019s Benjamin Rouget of France who lies third in the championship race, but with the likelihood of track surface conditions changing lap-by-lap, previous experience could count for little.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fifth overall in the championship standings, and leading the Class B category by 12 points, is Egidio Perfetti of the Seminole Racing Team.\u00a0 New to the series this season, Perfetti has made an astonishing debut and it will be fascinating to see if he continues his impressive form in Ordos.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Second in Class B is Wayne Shen of Modena Motorsport, who earned a podium finish in Ordos last season, however it was BBT driver Davide Rizzo who proved unbeatable.\u00a0 Rizzo took Class B pole position followed by two emphatic victories in the category, although this year the talented Italian will be competing for overall honours.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Returning to the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia for Rounds 5 and 6 is Dane Allan Simonsen.\u00a0 Simonsen impressed in the opening round of the 2012 season by finishing 3rd at the Shanghai International Circuit in April.<\/p>\n
