Luca was invited to join MC Motors to drive in the last race of the Asia Supercar Challenge in December 17th and 18th in Zhuhai.
In race 1 Luca despite some ABS problems qualified 2nd out of 21 cars, unfortunately he missed the Pole by just one tenth of a second.
He started the race and was steadily having problems to the brakes and was forced to retire after a few laps.
In race 2 Luca did the qualifying with old tires while his teammate Luca Drudi and all the competitors had brand new slicks, even here despite the huge handicap Luca surprised even himself by scoring the second fastest time in qualifying.
He than went off with a great start to brought him in the lead of lap one, but the usage of the tires had to force him to surrender to final 3rd place, that was not what he could have achieved if he was in the same conditions as the competitors but still a good enough to close a good season.
