Clean sweep for Nagashima at OneTen Shanghai

Completing the perfect weekend, topping all sessions over both rounds 5 and 6 of the OneTen Series in RCI V2, Yugo Nagashima took a commanding win in the 8-minute A-main after the battle with JJ Wang failed to materialise, despite the American putting in the fastest lap of the race. Motor King would complete the round 6 podium after Rocket Zhang started to feel unwell near the end of the race while in 3rd, eventually finishing in 4th. While the win looked straight forward, Yugo was quick to say it was ‘not easy’, elaborating by saying that his car was super loose in the opening 2 minutes, while JJ’s car was very competitive at the start. Making a small mistake in the chicane while being chased, when the tires came good he could get his head down and drive a controlled race, winning by a 4.5 second margin.
