The Banana RC Track in Batam City, Indonesia held round 1 of the Indonesia Buggy Nationals this past weekend. A total of 24 drivers from Jakarta, Medan, Banjarmasin as well as local drivers attended the event whose schedule saw six rounds of 10-minute qualifying with the best four to count. Ultimately it was Jason Nugroho (HB Racing/Ninja) with the TQ honours, but he suffered a flame out in his semifinal and finished in 2nd place only. This meant he had to start from P3 on the grid, however after the 60-minute main final encounter Jason found his way to the top again as he finished a lap in front of Adrian Wicaksono (Mugen/Ninja) while Rama Danindro (Kyosho/O.S.) ended the race in 3rd, another lap down.
