Round 5 of Singapore’s Urban Touring Series took place this past weekend at the city-centre circuit of Urban PlaySpace with the event once again being a concurrent points scoring round for the Singapore national EP on-road series. In the Touring Open Class, a modified Reedy Race format was run, with two qualifiers to sort out the grid followed by five finals. Taking TQ would be Esmail Apandi (Awesomatix), with Dominic Quek (Xray) starting in 2nd. In the finals, Esmail drew first blood with a win in leg 1 while Dominic suffered a DNF.
