Charles Kwan was 5 times Asian Touring Car Champion, raced also in Japan GT with Amprex in a Mazda RX-7 and then a BMW M3 GTR, he then won the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia in 2003.
Matthew Marsh and Charles Kwan finished 4th in N-GT at FIA GT Zhuhai last year, they shared a Ferrari 360 GTC after being delayed twice in the pits by the starter motor. I was there and I think they should have been third...
Charles was third in his final race, the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia race in Macau, he also set the fastest lap of the race.
Sadly, Charles retired at the end of last year and therefore will not race for the Hong Kong Le Mans team...
