2019 Arrowmax Cup Rd4 – Report

Round 4 of the 2019 Arrowmax Cup was held at the Tom Racing Circuit track in Hong Kong last weekend, attracting a somewhat low amount of entries due to the still ongoing riots in the city. Due to only a handful of drivers signing in for the Touring Modified class, both Simon Yeung and Fai Ho decided to join the Touring Stock field, making the race pretty exciting for all drivers involved. And so there were some intense battles going on, both Simon and Fai Ho raced in the Stock class for the first time while Stock specialist Johnson was standing his ground in qualifying. Xray/Zero Tribe driver Simon had a hard time in the beginning to adapt his Modified car for the Stock class and with the lack of pace in the opening qualifier, Fai Ho (Awesomatix) took the opportunity to take the Q1 TQ spot. Simon however found a lot of pace for Q2, taking the TQ in that round. Johnson (Awesomatix) came back strong in Q3 to take the TQ, however in the end it was Fai Ho who won the final Q4 for the overall TQ position.
