Chili Lim wins 2011 Team C cup

The 2011 Team C cup was held in Borneo Limbang, Sarawak last weekend and was a great success attracting racers from all around Malaysia, Brunei, Hong Kong and Taiwan, with around 80 racers in total participating. Qualifying was taken from only 1 qualifying round due to the weather conditions, rain started to pour down in late afternoon. Serpent racer Chili Lim was out of luck in his heat, despite being one of the fastest on the track, his only run being ruined by by a loose ball joint causing him to retire after the 3rd lap meaning he would end up 2nd from last. The event ran a Christmas tree format so Chili will need to bumps up from the lowest final and after racing for 105 minutes Chili manage to book himself a place in the final in 2nd position. In the 1 hour main final Chili managed to gain the lead in the early stages and after that started slowly pulling away from the rest of the pack. He would win by 2 laps from Alvin Lam in 2nd and Tommy 3rd.

Renato Tradardi Jr wins Venezuelan Truggy Nats

The Venezuelan National Championship took place last weekend at the Pista Club ITALO track in Cagua. Event though Team Associated Team member Renato Tradardi Jr. had not been racing for a while because he was away in Italy, he and his RC8T were nevertheless able to get up to speed quickly in the controlled practices for his class. He ended a respectable second and his father Renato third for the Grand Final. Not bad for a two-month absence from racing. In the finals it started to rain and the track became slippery. Making a decisive tire choice Renato Jr. led the field from the first round, and as the track dried and traction improved, the Team Associated RC8T excelled and he took the win.
