The recent SMP Buggy Race in China saw Lu Yi Heng taking the TQ in the 2WD buggy class. In the opening A-main, Lu tried to open a gap to the field but the second and third placed drivers were hot on his heels until they both crashed, allowing Lu to bring home the win in A1. For the second A-main the track started to loose traction but a fresh set of tyres allowed the pole position holder to bring home another win to grab the overall win with one leg to spare. A3 then held some difficulties for Lu who suffered several collisions with other drivers but putting his head down he was able to move up to the second place again while up front Lu Yi Heng’s teammate Jimmy Qian scored the win to secure himself the overall runner-up spot.
