Christian Mamesah wins at Indonesian Nats Rd2

Christian Mamesah wins at Indonesian Nats Rd2

The second round of the Indonesian Electric On-road Nationals was held at the SIS track in North Jakarta with a total of 50 racers attending in the three classes of Touring Open, FWD and Mini. The sugarwatered track offered a highspeed layout but the overall grip was described as complicated by some. In the Touring Open class Bowie Ginting took the overall TQ by securing round 2 and 3 but he would struggle in the mains as he only had one of the two allowed tyres sets at hand due to one set being unusable. Anyway Bowie was able to bring home the win in the opening A-main due to his closest competitor, Muhammad Izzah, making a series of mistakes despite being around 0.3 seconds faster per lap on fresh tyres.
