Akio Sobue takes win at 2014 Speed King Tour Rd3

The third round of 2014 Speed King Tour took place at the RC Stadium Sodegaura track last weekend. Unfortunately the finals of all classes had to be cancelled due to hailing. This meant the qualifying results would be used to determine the winner and in the main class of Modified Touring Car it was the championship leader Akio Sobue who brought home the TQ and therefore the round win. Local driver Kyoichi Mastumoto took second place while second round winner Yugo Nagashima finished third. The win in round 3 means Akio is able to extend his lead in the championship while Yugo needs to score more points to catch up. The win in the Stock class went to Eiji Seto who sat on top of the timesheets after qualifying. Yahiro and Ooshima scored a 2nd and 3rd place respectively. The next round of the 2014 Speed King Tour will take place at the Twin Ring Hongu in the Aichi prefecture on the 22nd of June.
