Glenn Phuah wins HPC International ‘07

We briefly mentioned this event in one of our Daily news Round ups the other day but now Xray have a full report from the HPC International, which attracted 60 drivers from all over the region, namely Singapore, Macau, Taiwan and the host country Malaysia. Qualifying saw a comfortable pole position for local Malaysian ace driver David Lim with his Werks-powered Losi, with Singaporean driver Glenn Phuah in an RB-powered Xray 2nd, after the dmap semi finals however Lim was eliminated and wouldnt run in the final. That final began with Hong Nor racer Ah M pulling into the lead after managing to overtake Sam Cheng and Glenn Phuah in the first few minutes of the 45min final. It was a tough final and the lead changed several time times between Sam, Glenn and Ah M. Sam made a slight mistake that gave Glenn an opportunity to take to lead the race leaving Sam to settle for 2nd behind eventual race winner Glenn Phuah, while Danny Teh claimed 3rd.
