Bowie Ginting wins at Jakarta EP On-road regionals Rd2

The second round of Jakarta Electric On-road regionals was held at Sunter International Speedway, Jakarta. A clear sky made and hot weather made for sizzling track temperatures and overheating tyres towards the end of the 5-minute runs. The opening qualifier of the Touring class was won by Bowie Ginting after a mistake of Suwardi Suliandy while in Q2 Bowie cruised to a comfortable win, some four seconds in front of Suwardi and Christian Mamesah. For Q3 traction decreased and Bowie rolled his car on the first lap. He decided to pull out, making way for Ronny Suwarto who then snatched the TQ and the P2 spot on the grid.

In the opening A-main Christian jumped into 2nd coming from P4, instantly chasing Bowie but Christian later made a mistake that gave Bowie a three seconds leads which he would hold unto until the chequered flag to take the win from Christian and Malaysia’s Michael Lo. At the start of A2 it was again Christian who climbed up to 2nd, thanks to errors of Suwardi and Ronny in the opening stages. Up front Bowie cruised to the win some six seconds in front of Christian and Ronny. For A3 and with the overall win already wrapped up, Bowie decided to try some new setups. Unfortunately for him it wouldn’t work out which promoted Christian into the lead that he would hold onto until the flag to grab the overall runner-up spot from Ronny.
