2019 Speed King Tour Rd4 – Report

Round 4 of the 2019 Speed King Tour was held at the NEXT circuit in the Chiba prefecture recently. Thanks to being located quite close to the Narita International Airport the race was easy to reach for drivers from far away and another plus was the quite new and very smooth surface that made for a lot of high-speed battles throughout the field. Classes run this time were Touring Modified and Touring Stock with the Oval category being scrapped this time due to the track layout. Yokomo driver Hayato Ishioka showed his speed right from the free practice on and he took the TQ in all three qualifying rounds of Touring Modified. Hayato also clocked the fastest lap time in the “Super Lap” session for the top 5 qualifiers to take the pole position for the single A-main.
