Don Chng takes RCMC Series Rd2

The 2nd round of the Singapore 1/8 RCMC on road series saw round 1 winner Tay Wui Kiat come under serious pressure with many competitive racers like Nelson Lee, Sam Cheng, Andrew Chin, Don Chng and many more pushing hard. Qualifying was tough and saw the top 6 qualifiers clocking 23 laps with only 8 seconds separating them, with Nelson Lee taking the TQ spot for Mugen. The start of the A-main was very close as there was no position change from the qualifying positions for the first 10mins with Nelson Lee leading and Tay wui Kiat and Sam Cheng following. Wui Kiat ran out of fuel around the 15min mark which dropped him to 3rd position and promoted Sam Cheng to 2nd. Nelson Lee in the meantime was comfortably leading the race until his front belt broke and had to retire from the race moving Cheng into the lead with Jesse, Wui Kiat, Don Chng and Andrew Chin following close behind. At the 25min mark Don Chng driving a Shepherd Velox, in its first race, managed to take the lead and never looked back taking the win ahead of Andrew Chin in 2nd, 3 laps behind, and Jesse Wu in 3rd.
