Hon Chio Leong (, born on 12 September 2001), also recognized as Charles Leong, is a professional racing driver hailing from Macau. He stands out as the sole local competitor to have secured victory twice at the Macau Grand Prix driving Formula 4 vehicles. Presently, he races in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia series and has prior experience in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship.

Leong has taken part in the Macau Grand Prix on six occasions, triumphing in the 2020 and 2021 editions, both of which were affected by COVID-19 limitations, piloting Formula 4 cars.

Ahead of the 2021 Macau Grand Prix, he entered four rounds of the 2021 China Formula 4 Championship held at Zhuhai International Circuit as a guest driver and claimed victory in every race he contested.

Formula 4

Leong's journey with Formula 4 began at age 13 when he started testing these vehicles, igniting a deep enthusiasm for single-seater racing.

2016

At just 14 years old, Leong made his debut in the 2016 F4 Chinese Championship representing Asia Racing Team, competing in two rounds. During the event at Goldenport Park Circuit, he earned pole position for race one and finished fourth and fifth in the first two races before retiring from the third. At Shanghai International Circuit, his results included third place, first place, and sixth place across three contests, also recording the fastest lap in race two. Despite being under 15 and thus ineligible for championship points, he became the fifteenth youngest driver to win an F4 race.

Macau Formula 4 Race

During the 70th Macau Grand Prix weekend in 2023, Leong took part in an invitational round of the Formula 4 South East Asia Championship with SJM Theodore Prema Racing. Driving a Tatuus F4-T421 for his first time, he qualified fourth behind Hadrien David. In wet conditions, Leong finished third in the qualifying race and secured second place in the final race, trailing teammate Arvid Lindblad.

Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia

In 2024, Leong teamed up with Miki Koyama to compete in Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia for SJM Iron Lynx Theodore Racing. He achieved runner-up positions in both races during round one and concluded the season as second overall in the Pro category.
