BLITZ WRX wins at Singapore ROCS |

After 2 months break for the event, ROCS resumed last weekend at Raceworks Hobbies in Bottle Tree Park Singapore. The weekend went really well for Team XRAY-ORCA-BLITZ as they have taken the top spot for the Raceworks Modified and ORCA Super Stock 17.5T class and leading the overall series. |

Top contenders in the Raceworks Modified Class would see Nicholas Lee (Tamiya World Champion 2011) and P.Y.Tang (TITC 2011, 2012 Super Stock A-Main Finalist) competing for top spot right till the last round, with the class running a Reedy format, taking points 4 rounds out of 6. E.C.Wee ran a respectable race after a long break completed in the podium spot. Prior testing on the BLITZ XFR and WRX, P.Y.Tang choses the WRX based on the traction level on race day as it gave a better rear end stability and a milder steering compared to the XFR which would be perfect at a higher traction level. The choice proved to be wise as the fastest laptime posted at 14.1sec, was faster by at least 0.2sec to everyone else. After winning the first 2 rounds by P.Y.Tang, Nicholas Lee came back strong to take Round 3 and 4. With multiple lead change in Round 5, P.Y.Tang kept his cool in the final minute to hold on for the win. A decisive Round 6, again saw multiple lead change in the first 3-minute, by with a more stable and faster car, P.Y.Tang remained calm and cruised in for the win. |
