Nicholas Lee wins ECG Super Series Rd3

Bright and sunny weather welcomed almost 50 drivers to the first race of the year 2010 being held at RaceCraft Infinity Singapore, which saw 2 classes run, Mod and Super Stock. Series point leader, Khamil Hyder from Hobbylink driving his Xray T3 powered by Acorn Racing’s 4900mAh 34C 2S1P 7.4V Carbon Edition Prototype, managed to clinch the TQ spot and win the finals after just 2 rounds of A Main finals from fellow racers Desmond Tan (Xray) and Joe Hwee (Hot Bodies) who finished 2nd and 3rd respectively. Despite some bad luck and transponder problems during the qualifiers, Acorn Racing’s Allister Lim stormed his Hot Bodies through the grid from 8th position to win both rounds of the B Main Super Stock Class, his pace was obviously a class of it’s own.

Volker wins 10th Anniversary DHI Cup

Ronald Volker is the 2010 DHI Cup Champion giving Team Yokomo their first ever win at the prestigious Danish race and also their first big win in Europe since Masami Hirosaka won the LRP Masters 10 years ago. The German, who was champion of the event in 2007, took the win after he claimed his second win of the day in the third Leg. In Pro Stock the third A Main saw the two contenders clash on the second lap dropping them out of contention for the Leg win. This meant the title would be decided on times and so Stocker took the title from Bergfeldt in 2nd and Leg 3 winner Yukijiro Umino in 3rd.
