"It would be great to win the series in Japan as I would be the new Formula BMW Asia champion when we arrive in Shanghai," Lee said recently, speaking about China's first Formula 1 Grand Prix for which the series will be a support event. Going in to the next rounds, Lee is on 150 points with You on 93.

So far Lee has won all but one of the eight rounds of the series, and is completely focussed on winning the championship. "I set out at the start of the year to really make my mark in Formula BMW Asia and I am determined to take the title," he said.

However, You will be going all out to keep his championship aspirations alive and given his strong showing so far this year which has seen him on the podium six times in eight races, Japan could well be the scene of an epic showdown between the two.
