Bowie Ginting wins Indonesian 13.5T Boosted TC title

The final round of the Indonesian Electric On-road National Championship was held at the East RC Speedway, Jakarta. Going into the event Bowie Ginting was points leader in the 13.5T Boosted Touring class and he only needed to qualify for the A-main in order to take this year’s title. Bowie soon made his intentions clear to round out a perfect season with another win as he took a pretty undefeated TQ some five seconds clear of Muhammad Izzah and Peter Anthonijsz while Christian Mamesah rounded out the top 4. The opening A-main then was won by Bowie after an unlucky Muhammad collided with a tyre barrier that was hit and thrown on the straight. Two laps down Ronald Kasengkang ended the opening leg in second position. The second A-main again had Bowie coming out fastest, this time from Izzah and Peter. The overall win also handed Bowie the national title and he would sit out A3 to let the other drivers battle for the runner-up spot. Ultimately Muhammad Izzah grabbed the win in the final A-main to end the day in second place from Peter Anthonijsz who rounded out the top 3 result.
