Urban Touring Series Rd3 – Report

Singapore’s Urban Touring Series ran its third round this past weekend. While some of the top names were missing this time, there remained plenty of fast drivers to make it another racing showpiece. Despite the grim start to the day with overnight rain, the hard work of the track crew, together with the help of racers, ensured that racing could get under way by late morning. Dominic Quek (Xray) took the TQ honours in qualifying round 1 by five seconds over Leonard Sim (Awesomatix). Despite a slightly damp track due to a slight drizzle in Q2, Dominic Quek improved on his Q1 result by two laps, securing overall TQ. In Q3, YS Heng (Yokomo) secured the TQ for the round to lock-down a P2 grid position for the finals. Leonard Sim would qualify 3rd overall.

Hovgaard wins at DRCMU Electric On-road Nats Rd6

The sixth round of the Danish DRCMU Indoor Electric On-road Nationals was recently held at the Djurs RC club. In the Touring Modified class Yokomo’s Frederik Hovgaard was the quickest driver from the get go, coming out fastest in the controlled practice by about a tenth of a second in front of Mike Gosvig (Xray), and Frederik would also take the opening two qualifiers to grab the pole position for the triple A-mains from Mike Gosvig and Mike Hansen (Schumacher). In the opening A-main the race for the win was on between Frederik and Mike Gosvig as both had a good start but problems with backmarkers meant Frederik would be allowed to cruise to the win in A1. After another good start and with a fast pace, the Yokomo driver would then also come out fastest in A2 to take the day’s win from A3 winner, Mike Gosvig in second and Mike Hansen third.

Thanks to Frederik Hovgaard for the report.

JConcepts S2 B64-series buggy body shell

JConcepts have introduced the S2 body shell for the Team Associated B64 series of 1/10th 4WD off-road buggies. Sporting the distinctive Silencer 2 design with slammed overall height and a progressive cab design the body is meant to deliver good balance and steering. A channeled roof directs the flow through the center of the body while also increasing the rigidity of the cockpit. The dual side-window design that has become famous on the JC bodies remains to bring a traditional feel to the layout. The upper side-pods feature distinct vents used to help relieve hot air build-up inside the body for those high-powered runs or hot days at the track. Carved and detailed side-pods edge the body, giving the highly aero unit a stylish look with a tight fit and finish. The body fits both the B64 and B64D and it comes clear, including window masks, decal sheet and two Aero rear wings.
