Nagashima claims TQ at fifth round of OneTen at RCI

Yugo Nagashima is the top qualifier for the 5th round of the OneTen series presented by Infinity. The Serpent driver wrapped up the top qualifying spot with his second round TQ in Q2 but only took 2nd in the 3rd and final 6 minute qualifier. The 3rd round of qualifying went to his Serpent team mate Rocket Zhang who as a result will now line up in 2nd on the grid for this afternoon’s triple 4-minute mains. JJ Wang will line up in 3rd for Xray just ahead of Yokomo driver Motor King with Gary Huang completing the top 5. Asked about his qualifying, Yugo said that in the 2nd qualifier he made a small mistake and hit the curb which allowed JJ to lead but once he regained his rhythm he could go to the top of the times again. Happy with the setup of his car in Q2, for Q3 he tried something completely different but it wasn’t as good and will revert to the previous setup for the finals.

Nagashima takes first qualifier in Shanghai

Yugo Nagashima has taken the opening round of qualifying in the Infinity Modified class at the 5th round of the OneTen series in Shanghai. The Serpent driver was 1 and a half seconds up on Xray driver JJ Wang, with the American a further 2 seconds up on local Serpent driver Rocket Zhang in 3rd. Coming from the 2nd fastest heat, it was Motor King who headed the Yokomo effort in 4th while Stick King completed the top 5, making it a solid start for Serpent. Describing his first run as ‘ok, but big push’, Nagashima will look to make a change for Q2 but conceded that any changes made on this track seem to make no difference to the overall feel of the car. A fan of the RCI V2 track, having won the AOC here last year, Yugo said that JJ is fast but he believes he has the pace to beat the US driver if he can tweak the setup further.
