Life In The Fast Lane

This episode we’re joined by Malaysia’s very own speed queen, Leona Chin — a trailblazing motorsports athlete and a name synonymous with adrenaline-fueled action. Late last year, Leona made waves by clinching the top spot at the 2024 China Circuit Sprint Challenge (CCSC) BMW M235i Cup, a triumph made even more special as she stood as the only female racer on the track. This hard-earned victory not only highlighted her talent but also marked a milestone in her career: her first-ever championship win in the fiercely competitive, high-octane series. Shortly after her groundbreaking victory, she also realized a lifelong dream by competing at the legendary Guia Circuit during the Macau Grand Prix — an event often dubbed the “World Cup of Motorsports.” Facing such elite contenders, Leona delivered an outstanding performance, securing an impressive 15th-place finish in the GT4 race.
