Edward TQs & wins Carisma DTMxGQ Cup

The Carisma DTMxGQ Cup was held this past weekend at the ACO track in Hong Kong. Cloudy and unpredictable weather was predicted for race day but this did not held the drivers from getting the most out of their mandatory Carisma M40S RTR cars that had to be run with realistic DTM bodyshells, bone-stock Carisma 3000kv brushless systems and GQ hand out tyres. At the end only one A-main was to be held due to heavy rain in the afternoon and it was TQ holder Edward that brought home the win from Dick Wong 2nd and Stick King 3rd.
