Lee & Quek win at Singapore Race Party

The final race of the 2016 season at Urban PlaySpace was the year-end Race Party this past weekend. A total of 40 entries made this the year’s biggest race, and a fitting conclusion to an action packed racing year. In the Touring Stock Class (17.5T Blinky), a total of 30 racers battled for honours. Fresh from his big win in Xiamen, China, Nicholas Lee would secure TQ with 2 wins in the 3 qualifying rounds. In the A-main, Nicholas maintained his momentum and rolled to 2 wins in the first 2 legs. Dominic Quek showed great pace at the start of each leg but ultimately had to be satisfied with 2nd after winning Leg 3 of the A-main which Nicholas sat out. YS Heng was in a close battle with the rest of the field for the final podium spot, and finally secured 3rd.

Bill Lykaris wins 1/10 Greek Championhip

Bill Lykaris wins 1/10 Greek Championhip

The fourth and final round of the Greek Championship took place at the Fanatix Racing Track near Athens. After 4 rounds of qualification it was John Sotiropoulos who took the TQ in front of Shepherd racer Bill Lykaris with a gap of only 0,6sec. At the beginning of the 35 minute main final Bill Lykaris was able to take over the lead but it was a close race for the complete distance. For most of the race Bill was able to hold the lead only losing it when he was coming to the pitlane for fuel due to a different pit strategy. At the end Bill crossed the finishing line in first position scoring enough points to secure the Greek National Championship title. With a gap of 2 seconds Dimitris Papadopoulos finished the race in second position with John Sotiropoulos completing the podium about half a lap down.
