Apandi doubles at Singapore Astro Buggy Champs Rd4

The fourth round of Singapore’s Urban Astro Buggy Championships was held this past weekend, and once again the race was concurrently a Singapore national series points scoring event. With the weather being sunny, the dry high traction astro surface at the Urban PlaySpace Raceway in downtown Singapore proved to be a challenge for the racers to master.

It was the same story in the finals, with Esmail securing an early overall win by taking legs 1 and 2 of the A-Main. Dennis Chiang (Xray), who started 4th on the grid, secured the win in leg 3 to finish 2nd overall, while Kamen Koh (Serpent) took the final podium spot in 3rd.
