Takahiro Namura wins JMRCA Sports TC title

Takahiro Namura wins JMRCA Sports TC title

The JMRCA touring car Sport class Nationals took place this past weekend at the Kawaba RC Plaza in Gunma. Weather for qualifying was cold but dry and following 6 rounds it was Tamiya driver Takahiro Namura that took the pole position ahead of Riyota Kikuchi driving an Xray, with Kazuma Morita also with a Tamiya in 3rd. As with almost all races this year rain was again to play a role with finals day hit by rain. Despite waiting for the weather to clear, which look likely, further rain fell and so the race was cancelled with the results based on the standings after qualifying. This decision gave Takahiro Namura the Sport class title for 2011.
