Tamiya Group C Series Round 1 – Report

Round one of the Tamiya Group C Series took place last weekend on the beautiful Vallelunga track, 40km north of Rome, Italy. Former European B Champion Riccardo Acciari took the win ahead of newly crowned 235mm National Champion Alessandro Manciocchi, with Massimo Cardelli rounding up the podium. The drivers have been graced by two days of wonderful weather, which made for a pretty big attendance on Saturday as well. The debut for this championship, the race unfolded flawlessly despite some last-minute withdrawals due to the seasonal flu outbreak in Rome which caused the number of heats to decrease and the time table to shift slightly. The race format – with one seeding practice, four 5-minute qualifiers in parc fermee regime and three 10-minute finals – proved challenging and guaranteed plenty of track time for each driver. After seeding, Riccardo Acciari would be top of the list, followed very closely by Massimo Cardelli (3/100ths over three laps) and Alessandro Manciocchi. Qualifying wouldn’t be much different, with Riccardo putting together the best five laps in the first three rounds wrapping the overall TQ in front of Alessandro, with Massimo in third. Alessandro Bagagli and Emiliano Bartolini (both winners of national titles in various classes) wrapped up the top five.

Yokomo MS2.0 Aluminum Chassis Touring Car Kit

Following the launch of their latest 1:10 Electric Touring Car. the MS2.0, in August, Yokomo has announced an Aluminium Chassis kit, aluminium chassis specification perfect for the indoor season which is just beginning. Its low centre of gravity makes it easier to handle high-grip surfaces such as carpet, but also is appropriate for medium to high grip asphalt enabling higher cornering speeds. The 1.5 mm thick aluminium main chassis lowers the centre of gravity and weight vs 2.0mm designs, while allowing more chassis flex providing more traction and a wider setup window. Screw fastening from the underside has traditionally been challenging with thin chassis, but the MS2.0 uses dedicated high-precision screws for precise machine building.

Isaacs claims third NYGP 1:12 Mod win

From a grid that was lead out by the past three 1:12 Modified Champions of the Montech New York Grand Prix, it was the high profile East Coast race’s most successful driver Sam Isaacs who took the big win at the 7th edition of the 360v2 hosted event. Starting P2 on the grid behind 2021 Champion Donny Lia, and in front of defending Champion Kemp Anderson, while Isaacs mounted a number of charges on Lia over the 8-minutes it was a backmarker that ultimately decided the race. Running as an impressive high speed train for over 6-minutes, CRC’s Ollie Payne also in the mix, Lia’s efforts would come undone when he collected a back marker who was out of shape having just launched his car off the curbing. With Isaacs and Anderson going through, Lia would set about a charge getting back by Anderson but running out of time to deny Isaacs his 3rd win in the AbsoluteHobbyz 1:12 Modified class, the final gap 0.885. Anderson would complete the podium in New Rochelle with 2019 Champion Payne claiming fourth on his NYGP return while Excelerate’s Josh Cyrul round of the Top 5.

Winner of his latest ROAR Touring Car National title earlier this year at the 360v2 track in New Rochelle, he would secure pole for the track’s blue ribbon event with his time from the 3rd of the 4 rounds of qualifying. While he would lose out on the TQ in 1:12 Mod to Donny Lia in the final qualifier, track conditions for Q4 of Touring Car, the final heat of qualifying, would see no one improve on their times. Isaacs still topped the round 3.5-seconds ahead of NYGP debutant Lucas Urbain and Kemp Anderson, a driver who has attended every running of the Donny Lia organised race. For tomorrow’s A-Main starting grid it will be Anderson who starts second ahead of Urbain with Xray duo Jan Ratheisky, another NYGP first timer, and Drew Ellis completing the Top 5.

Lia snatches 1:12 Mod TQ at Montech NYGP
