PY Tang wins Open Boost Class at 2015 TITC

The annual Thailand International Touring Car Championships was held this past weekend at the RC Addict Circuit in Bangkok, Thailand, home of the 2012 IFMAR 1/10 Nitro World Championship. More than 300 drivers competed in the five electric on-road classes of Touring Car Modified, Open Brushless, Non Boost, Formula and a Junior Class. Tyre strategy and car setup was crucial in getting the car dialled for the ever changing condition of the fast and flowing track with some sections being very bumpy, but the track offered high traction most of the time. In the Open Brushless Class, PY Tang was in control of things, scoring the only 19-lap run in controlled practise to top the group. On qualification day 1, PY again showed that that he was the man to beat, topping the time sheet in the first three qualifiers, securing the overall TQ just on day 1. On day 2 PY ran old tyres taking 3rd fastest in Q4 and Q5, allowing him to use the last fresh set of tyres from the qualifiers in the finals and in addition to the two fresh sets of rubber the A-main finalists received.
