‪Atsushi Hara wins at Serpent GT Cup Series Rd3‬

Round 3 of the Serpent GT Cup Series was held this past weekend at the TRC racing track in Hong Kong. The event‬ attract‪ed‬ 60 entries which by far ‪was‬ the biggest turnout ‪in‬ the series‪’‬ history. To make the event even more special, world‪-‬famous pro-driver Atsushi Hara ‪made‬ a guest appearance ‪to compete against the other drivers using‬ Serpent‪’s‬ ‪”hand out” ‬GT Cup edition‪ nitro on-road GT car‬.‪ The race format saw triple ten minute qualifiers with the A-main being a 45 minute affair and to no one’s surprise it was Atsushi who grabbed the TQ position after the qualifiers with a 10 seconds margin on runner-up Hui. But despite having a somewhat easy A-main Hara had to call for a time-out just before the start as a faulty connector within the transmitter caused him problems and he had to start from the back of the field after getting it fixed. At the end of a very entertaining A-main Hara took the win despite having to work himself through the field. Behind the now privateer‬ driver, Hui Chin Ho‪ ended the 45 minute main on the runner-up spot while‬ Nelson Woo‪ completed the top 3 result. The next round of the 13th of the Serpent GT Cup will be held on December 13th at the SRC racing track in Shenzen, China.‬

Bowie Ginting wins Indonesian 13.5T Boosted TC title

The final round of the Indonesian Electric On-road National Championship was held at the East RC Speedway, Jakarta. Going into the event Bowie Ginting was points leader in the 13.5T Boosted Touring class and he only needed to qualify for the A-main in order to take this year’s title. Bowie soon made his intentions clear to round out a perfect season with another win as he took a pretty undefeated TQ some five seconds clear of Muhammad Izzah and Peter Anthonijsz while Christian Mamesah rounded out the top 4. The opening A-main then was won by Bowie after an unlucky Muhammad collided with a tyre barrier that was hit and thrown on the straight. Two laps down Ronald Kasengkang ended the opening leg in second position. The second A-main again had Bowie coming out fastest, this time from Izzah and Peter. The overall win also handed Bowie the national title and he would sit out A3 to let the other drivers battle for the runner-up spot. Ultimately Muhammad Izzah grabbed the win in the final A-main to end the day in second place from Peter Anthonijsz who rounded out the top 3 result.
