Losam wins Hong Kong GP Onroad Championship

Serpent driver Lo Losam took the 1:8 win at the Hong Kong GP Onroad Championship which took place at the country’s well known Tom Racing Circuit.  Hosted by the Hong Kong Model Car Association, the event would be effected by rain on the Saturday with the original schedule of 5 rounds of qualifying reduced to 3 with two to count.  Losam’s first race with the Serpent 990, with factory driver Jeff Hamon providing him with set-up advice over the phone, the 20-year-old would go fastest in the first two rounds to lock in the overall TQ while the Mugen of Chu Williams would take the Super Pole shoot out to secure P2 on the grid.  With the race attracting an entry from none other than legendary race announcer & recent 1:8 Onroad racing convert Scotty Ernst, in the 1-hour Main final Losam would have some issues at the start leaving him in P7.  Within 3-minutes however he was back in the front where he would stay until the end winning by 4-laps from Williams with the Capricorn of 亞森 completing the podium.
