Xray Racing Series Singapore – Report

Singapore staged the second round of the inaugural season of the Xray Racing Series for South-East Asia this past weekend. Hosted by Urban PlaySpace on its unique roof-top circuit, the event saw racers from Germany, Korea, Brunei and the USA join the many locals in the three classes of Modified Touring, Stock 13.5T Blinky Touring and Formula. The event featured the exciting bump-up format of racing, and was further spiced up with a trackside BBQ party at the end of day one. In the Modified Touring Car class, Dominic Quek set the pace on his home track during qualifying. Despite an issue in Q1 while leading, Dominic was able to bounce back to grab the remaining 3 rounds of qualifying to seal TQ. Germany’s Jan Ratheisky qualified 2nd despite minimal track time due to his delayed arrival into Singapore. Another young local, Eugene Goh, qualified 3rd, to the delight of the local crowd.

Danish Electric Off-road Champs Rd3 – Report

Round 3 of the Danish Electric Off-road Championship was held at the RC Kongen outdoor track last weekend. The track was laid out with both old and new carpet, making setup a bit difficult. The track is also the home track of the Douglas and Kaerup families and both showed instant speed during the practice rounds. In the 2WD class Jesper Rasmussen set the pace in Q1 in front of Frederik Hovgaard. Jesper and Frederik upped their speed in every round of qualifying with Jesper holding the upper hand. Behind the two the battle for 3rd was closed between Lasse Bak and Marcus Kærup. Just behind the top 4 it was on-road driver Mike Hansen as Jonas Kærup was showing great speed but some electronic problem in every round stopped him to make full five minute runs.

BRCA Clubmans Series Rd3 – Report

Round 3 of the BRCA Clubmans Series took place at Aldershot Model Car Club. All of the Championship leaders and contenders were present for what was to be a sun drenched meeting for the whole weekend. Saturday saw a packed pit area with most of the competitors arriving for that all important practice on one of the Souths best tracks, with its infamous chicane onto the very long straight which leads into a banked sweeper – if taken incorrectly this could easily see you taking a trip into the scenery – then to the fast infield section to complete the lap. As it was dry weekend Sweep 34 control tyres would be used for the TC classes and Sweep SW control tyres also for the Formula class.
