Super Production Class Champions

Paul Poon became the second champion when he won in a China Dragon Racing run Honda Civic EP3 in 2003. The car was bought by Paul from Mardi Gras Motorsport in the United Kingdom.

Kenneth Look has won the championship for 3 years consecutively, in 2004, 2005 and 2006.

N2000 Class

• Fong Wai-Kee won the inaugural championship for N2000 cars in 2006 for KK Racing.
• Tsang Tak-Fan won the overall championship for N2000 cars in 2005 for Fusion Racing Team.

2004 Controversy

Championship leader Paul Poon was hit by Kenneth Look's teammate, Ronny Shum, in the fifth race of the 2004 championship and retired from the race, allowing Kenneth Look to win. The HKAA's failure to penalize Ronny Shum resulted in China Dragon Racing pulling out of the next race en masse after the warm-up lap. Kenneth Look subsequently won the 2004 title without much real opposition.

In November, the HKAA demanded an apology from China Dragon Racing for bringing the sport into disrepute before allowing them to enter the Guia Race in Macau.
