Asia On-Road Championship Rd4 – Finals Recap

Asia On-Road Championship – Finals Recap

After Saturday’s thunderstorm and rain scare, the sun was back for Sunday allowing the race to proceed with the final two rounds of mains to decide Asia On-road Championship’s 4th round champions. It was do or die time for Xray’s Alexander Hagberg with Yokomo’s Ronald Volker taking a close win in A1. Much like in A1, Volker pushed hard on the 1st lap to get a comfortable gap between him and his rivals. Trading lap for lap, Volker’s lead remained 0.8 seconds throughout the race. With time running out, Hagberg was pushing maximum and unfortunately caught the curb and rolled his car with a minute left. This would allow Volker to cruise to his 2nd win and take the overall in the Modified Sedan class. Hagberg would finish just 1.7 seconds back from Volker for 2nd followed by Nicholas Lee in 3rd.
