Completing the qualifying double this weekend, Yugo Nagashima is once again the top qualifier here in Shanghai, the Serpent driver topping the times in Q2 and 3 to secure his second pole position in as many days. Again he was pushed hard by JJ Wang, the American leading for half of the 3rd qualifier before being passed in the dying stages by the Japanese racer. Rocket Zhang has all but confirmed his 3rd place starting spot for this afternoon’s 8-minute A-main with his 3rd top 3 run of the day, with the remainder of the top 5 also staying the same as Motor King took 4th place for a 3rd time as well as Gary Huang in 5th. Yugo was happy to wrap up the TQ spot earlier, but was quick to point out that he had tried a change in setup which wasn’t to his liking which explained how JJ made it to the front in the 3rd qualifier. Saying the feeling was good but the car now had too much rotation he may have went too far in a direction and will make some more changes to dial back the effect for Q4.

Having dominated proceedings yesterday in round 5 of the OneTen Series, Yugo Nagashima made his intentions of a double known early as he took the opening qualifier here at RCI V2. Although kept honest by the following JJ Wang, the American was just not able to match the pace of the Serpent driver and ended up 7 tenths back in the 4-minute encounter. Rocket Zhang was once again the best of the rest as Serpent continue to have a good showing here in Shanghai, with Motor King and Gary Huang completing the top 5 for the round in the Infinity Modified class. Continuing to use the setup he trialed in the last main yesterday evening, Yugo also said that he rebuilt the diff on his Serpent as he found the one he was using was leaking. Asked about the track conditions today he mention that the track feels more free, giving the car a better feeling of rotation in the corners.

Making it a clean sweep, Yugo Nagashima has won all 3 A-mains at the fifth round of the OneTen series in Shanghai. The Serpent driver was never threatened in the 2nd final and could win easily to take the overall, while in the last final JJ could have a go at Yugo but couldn’t make the pass stick after contact forced him to relinquish the spot, the American eventually coming home 2nd overall. Despite a bad last final, where he finished down in 7th, Rocket Zhang could take the final podium spot in 3rd, winning the tie break with Motor King, thanks to his faster 3rd place finish. Behind Motor King, Gary Huang ended the day in 5th with Stick King, making the trip from Hong Kong, taking 6th. With very little to say about what was an uneventful 3 finals, Yugo was already focussed on tomorrow trying a new shock setup for A3 which he says has potential but needs a bit of work.
