Kanai brings RC to Japanese F1 Grand Prix once again

Former 1:8 Buggy World Champion and now legendary chassis designer Yuichi Kanai has once again brought RC into the Formula 1 spotlight with Alpine’s Esteban Ocon and McLaren’s Oscar Piastri taking the controls of Kyosho Inferno buggies on the main straight of the Suzuka circuit which hosts this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix. Kanai is no stranger to the F1 paddock having brought the noise and smell of Nitro RC racing to last year’s Grand Prix where Ocon and 7-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton ran two Infernos together. Ocon and Piastri’s RC driving experience ahead of the start of the Grand Prix weekend was shared in an official F1 video posted on their Facebook page, which with 13-million follows offers huge exposure for the sport of RC Racing and the hobby in general. Both drivers also shared the experience on their social media, Piastri being a former Australian Stock Electric Touring Car Champion. Well done Yuichi, lets hope they return the favour and give you a go in one of their F1 cars!!

Ongaro late confirmation for Philippine Masters

Having originally looked set to miss this year’s Philippine Masters due to Warm-up Race commitments for the IFMAR 1:8 Buggy World Championships, the cancellation of Brazil hosting the Worlds means reigning back to back World Champion Davide Ongaro will return to Asia’s biggest annual 1:8 Offroad race for a fourth time. A winner of the event event prior to Covid, the Team Associated star successfully returned to the famous 3D layout Circulo Verde track located in the heart of Manila last year as the Philippine Masters made its return to the international stage after the forced 2 year break. Taking the TQ ahead of the Mayako of former World Champion Robert Batlle and the win ahead of Sworkz’ Micha Widmaier 12 months ago, this year the Italian’s competition for the April 18-21 event is set to come from an entry list that includes Kyosho pairing Ryan Lutz & Kyle McBride and Sworkz’ Joern Neumann. The 12th running of the Philippine Masters, the race is also the second round of the ambitious four round Asian Buggy Championships which is currently lead by American Lutz who won the opening round in New Zealand in February.
