Career
Formula 4
Macau Formula 4 Race
In the 70th Macau Grand Prix, Leong participated in the first weekend’s Macau Formula 4 Race[6]which was an invitational round of the 2023 Formula 4 South East Asia Championship,[7]with SJM Theodore Prema Racing. It was Leong’s first race in the Tatuus F4-T421. Leong qualified fourth, behind Hadrien David.[8] Wet conditions were encountered during the qualifying race, which Leong was able to finish third due to David’s non-classification.[9]Positive momentum continued in the final race, which Leong finished second, behind his teammate Arvid Lindblad.[10]
Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia
In 2024, Leong made his first appearance in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia with SJM Iron Lynx Theodore Racing.[11]He would finish second overall in both races of round 1.[12]
