Max Chung wins Mini class at 2019 GIRC

The 2019 GRC International RC Car Championship was held at the GRC Circuit in South Korea, with drivers from Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Japan and Germany in attendance. In the popular Mini class, local driver Jae Kyu Kim dominated qualify to take the overall TQ with Hong Kong driver Max Chung in 2nd. In the opening A-final Kim also showed an unbeatable pace with a best lap of 19.864 and he would hold the upper hand to take the win, the second final however was crucial, as Max Chung had the hole shot and passed Kim on the inside of the first corner. Kim and Max would battle for the whole five minutes and ultimately Max crossed the line first, just 0.39s ahead of Kim. The third final was intense for both drivers, again Max had a good start and was already on the inside line in the first corner, while Kim rolled his car, putting him back to 3rd. Kim however quickly recovered and soon reclaimed 2nd position. Up front Max tried everything to hold onto the lead and he crossed the line ahead of Kim by 3.5s. Myung Kook Lee would complete the top 3 podium result.

Thanks to Max Chung for the report.
