Urban Touring Series Rd9 – Report

The penultimate round of Singapore’s Urban Touring Series was held this past weekend at Singapore’s Urban Onroad Raceway. The event saw the return of Daryl Thong (Xray), a past TITC A-main podium finisher, who had been missing from racing action for some time due to his on-going National Service commitments. Daryl missed the early action and could only complete one of the four rounds of qualifying, meaning he would start last in the finals. Hasron Robana (Xray) topped the first three rounds of qualifying to take the overall TQ honours for the day. 13-year old Sean Lee (Tamiya) gave everyone notice when he pushed Hasron hard in Q1 and Q2, and was in fact on pace for TQ in both rounds when he encountered unfortunate back-marker incidents. With Hasron sitting out Q4, Sean gained some comfort with a TQ run in the round to qualify overall 2nd. Qualifying 3rd was Chee Lip Keong (Yokomo).
