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.
