JAKARTA (JP): Indonesia's leading driver Roy Haryanto rode his
luck to finish third and fifth in the Formula Asia races in the
Shah Alam circuit in Malaysia on Sunday.

Roy, 19, battled neck-to-neck against Formula Asia
championship leader Niclas Jonsson of Sweden in the final lap of
the morning race. However, engine trouble condemned the
Indonesian to third place by only a two second margin.

Roy struggled to control his troubled car in the afternoon
race, but still managed to finish among the top five.

Driving before his home crowd, host racer Alexander Yoong
clocked the fastest time in the two races on Sunday. The Formula
Asia championship series will resume at the same venue on Aug.
