 Jono Lester has finished in second place in his Super Taikyu debut with the PETRONAS Syntium Team, in the 4 Hours of Fuji Speedway over the weekend.
Driving the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 paired with Tatsuya Kataoka (Japan) and Toyota Racing Series team mate Melvin Moh (Malaysia), Lester entered qualifying having driven the car in dry, damp and extreme wet conditions during pre-event testing.
Setting the quickest lap time during his 15-minute qualifying session, Lester set a new benchmark for FIA GT3-spec cars with a new course record, eclipsing the time set by the Audi’s R8 LMS GT3 in 2011.... » read morePhoto by PETRONAS Syntium Team

Leading into the final round of the 2012 championship, Lester held the Rookie points lead by a slender margin of 18 points from Austrian driver Lucas Auer and Brazilian Bruno Bonifacio.
