Urbain takes Q2 from Coelho at Asia Touring Car Championship

Lucas Urbain has TQ’d the second round of qualifying at the Asia Touring Car Championship, the Awesomatix driver making the most of the challenging track conditions to top the times ahead of Top Seed Bruno Coelho and Akio Sobue. With rain preventing any action at Hongyu GDC track yesterday, while a dry start to Sunday conditions would be much cooler and windier than Friday when it was Infinity’s Naoto Matsukura who took the opening TQ. With Matsukura posting a time of 19/5:07.597 in Q1, even with a round of free practice run to open the day and get some rubber back down on the track, Urbain’s TQ time this morning was almost half a lap slower with the French driver running 19/5:14.210 with Coelho just 0.145 behind. The top heat would see mistakes from a number of drivers including Matsukura who ended up P7. Schumacher’s Michal Orlowski also had a spin, after which he said his car was OK as he held station on track with Urbain, but the almost 21-second lap 3 meant his time was only good enough for P6. Another strong run from Infinity’s Ryosuke Yamamoto saw him back up his Top 3 in Q1 with a fourth ahead of Axon’s Hayato Ishioka.

Isaacs claims third NYGP 1:12 Mod win

From a grid that was lead out by the past three 1:12 Modified Champions of the Montech New York Grand Prix, it was the high profile East Coast race’s most successful driver Sam Isaacs who took the big win at the 7th edition of the 360v2 hosted event. Starting P2 on the grid behind 2021 Champion Donny Lia, and in front of defending Champion Kemp Anderson, while Isaacs mounted a number of charges on Lia over the 8-minutes it was a backmarker that ultimately decided the race. Running as an impressive high speed train for over 6-minutes, CRC’s Ollie Payne also in the mix, Lia’s efforts would come undone when he collected a back marker who was out of shape having just launched his car off the curbing. With Isaacs and Anderson going through, Lia would set about a charge getting back by Anderson but running out of time to deny Isaacs his 3rd win in the AbsoluteHobbyz 1:12 Modified class, the final gap 0.885. Anderson would complete the podium in New Rochelle with 2019 Champion Payne claiming fourth on his NYGP return while Excelerate’s Josh Cyrul round of the Top 5.
