Atsushi Hara wins 3rd consecutive Japanese title

Current IFMAR World Champion Atsushi Hara has won the rain shortened Japanese Nationals for a 3rd time in a row today in Sagamiko PF. The Hot Bodies driver was able to take the TQ spot in qualifying on Saturday but on Sunday the day started wet and continued to get worse with the race being cancelled following the 1/64th final. The organisers declared the winners based on the qualifying positions and so it was Hara that took the title, ahead of Kyosho driver Kazuya Tanaka in 2nd and Mugen driver Ahn Yuichi in 3rd.
