Urban Touring Series Rd4 – Report

Round 4 of the Urban Touring Series was run this past weekend under scorching conditions at the rooftop circuit at the Singapore-based Urban PlaySpace. A smaller than usual field took to the start, but, with all the championship contenders in attendance, a highly competitive race was assured. In Saturday’s practice, it was PY Tang, Sean Lee and Dominic Quek that set the pace for the rest. Come race day, it was the same trio leading the way in qualifying. In Q1, PY Tang (ARC) drew first blood in the battle on new tyres, TQ-ing the round by almost 3 secs over Dominic Quek (Xray). PY would repeat in Q2, but by a significantly smaller margin of just 0.7s over Dominic. In Q3, Dominic finally managed to TQ – by 0.3s over PY – a qualifying round. In the final round of qualifying, it was the orange-white car of Dominic again who TQ-ed by a 0.5s margin. With two of the four qualifying rounds counting, PY would secure overall TQ by virtue of his faster Q1 time. Dominic would have to settle for a P2 start in the A-main, with Sean Lee (TRF) starting P3.
