Kurzbuch & Schäfer successful at Team C Cup

Last weekend the Team C Cup was held at the TRC track in Hong Kong in several 1/8th and 1/10th nitro on-road classes. In the premier class of 1/8th nitro on-road is was Simon Kurzbuch who dominated the event. In qualifying he took a convincing TQ in front of Luk Chi Hung and Senna. Right from the start of the 45 minute main final Simon stormed away and increased the gap over the rest of the field lap by lap, setting a new lap record and after 45 minutes he crossed the finishing line five laps in front of Hay with Chan Chau Man completing the podium.

In the 1/10th scale class Patrick Schäfer was the man to beat. In his fastest qualifying he also set a new lap record and claimed the pole position in front of Wong Wei Kei and Ho Fai. At the start of the final a small collision between Wong Wei Kei and Patrick mixed up the field, but around the 7 minute mark Patrick was back at the front keeping the lead for the rest of the 45 minute encounter. He took the victory in front of Choi Kam Man and Ho Fai.

Simon Kurzbuch also competed in the 1/8th GT short class and showed a blistering performance during qualifying. With a gap of more than one lap on the second placed driver he took the pole position for the main final setting another lap record. Unfortunately technical issues forced him to retire early in the main final and so after 45 minutes it was Cheung Kwok Wai who took the victory in front of Samel Chiu and Harmony Lam.
