Felix Law wins at rain-affected HKRCSA Rd2

Round 2 of the HKRCSA EP Series was held at the Tom Racing Circuit in Hong Kong last weekend. Serpent’s Felix Law was in control of things in the Touring Modified class qualifiers, taking three of the four rounds for the overall TQ from Q4 winner, Xray’s Kevin Lau. Awesomatix driver, Fai Ho came in 3rd with three 2nd place finished. Unfortunately the race director had to call the event a day after the qualifiers as heavy rain made it impossible to run the final legs, meaning the overall results would be based on the qualifying results, handing Felix the win from Lau and Fai with Lau taking the runner-up spot in the tie-breaker with Fai.
