Xray Racing Series Singapore – Report Posted: 15 Jul 2019 11:39 AM PDT The 2nd running of the Xray Racing Series Singapore took place this past weekend at the Urban RC onroad circuit in downtown Singapore. The event was headlined by the entry of Xray factory driver Alexander Hagberg, who joined his Singapore teammate, Dominic Quek. Singapore’s 2-time IFMAR finalist, Nicholas Lee, also participated, alongside a number of notable foreign entries. A total of 63 entries took to the starting grid, making this one of Singapore’s largest EP events in recent history. In qualifying for the premier Modified Class, the crowd witnessed a close battle by the trio of Lee, Quek and Hagberg, with each taking TQs in Q1, Q2 and Q3 respectively. With 2 of the 4 rounds counting, the overall TQ would be decided only on day 2 of the event when Q4 took place. With intense pressure to secure the coveted TQ spot, it was Hagberg who finished 0.5secs ahead of Quek to secure the pole position start in the finals. Lee would start 3rd. In the A-Main finals, Leg 1 saw an easy win for Hagberg as contact between Lee and Quek on lap 2, and a resulting bodytuck for Quek, saw them both drop down the order. Esmail Apandi inherited 2nd, a position he held on till the closing stages when Lee put on a charge and made a sublime overtake to finish 2nd. In Leg 2, the drivers got off to a clean start this time. In Lap 2, Quek passed Hagberg on the straight to go into the lead. While Lee held on to 3rd, a costly roll on lap 5 saw him drop down the order. Hong Kong’s Kenrick Fong benefited with a 3rd place finish. In Leg 3, the drivers once again got off to a good start, with Hagberg showing his class immediately by pulling clear of the field as the early attention was on the close battle for 2nd between Quek and Lee. The pair would duel for the entire duration of the final as Quek’s tight lines made it difficult for Lee to execute a pass. Quek would eventually hold his nerves to finish just 0.8secs ahead of Lee, and secure 2nd overall, with Lee 3rd. Modified A-main results: In the Stock class which had the largest entry count, qualifying also saw a ding-dong battle between Daryl Thong and Julien Foo. Foo secured the TQ run in Q1, but Thong bounced back with TQs in Q2 and Q3 to sit as the overnight TQ. In Q4, a mistake in the late stages of the run by Daryl would gift the TQ to Foo. Thong had to be content with a P2 start, with Nicolas Madar starting in P3. In the A-Main, the pair of Foo and Thong resumed their battle in Leg 1, with Thong eventually taking a close win over Foo, with Allister Lim in 3rd. In Leg 2, Foo held on to his lead from the start, but a problem for Thong would see him DNF. Sebastian Lee finished 2nd while Madar took 3rd. The overall winner would be decided in Leg 3, but the highly anticipated battle failed to materialize as it was Foo’s turn to suffer car gremlins which would see him DNF. This gave Thong an easy win, with Madar in 2nd and Sebastian Lee taking 3rd. Stock A-main results: In the Formula class, Allister Lim denied Julien Foo a second TQ as Lim would benefit from the tiebreak. In the finals, Foo managed to secure the Leg 1 win by a 0.5s margin from Lim, with young Korean racer Ha-Jin Jung taking a popular 3rd place finish. In Leg 2, Lim and Foo battled it out again, and it was Lim who would square things out with an even closer winning margin of just 0.1s, with Kamen Koh in 3rd. In Leg 3, it was once again the Lim and Foo show with the highlight being the last lap when the duo traded positions almost every turn. Catching up to a back marker, it would be Lim who would come off better and eventually seal the win, with Foo in 2nd and Tapana V in 3rd.

Protoform X-15 1/8th on-road body shell Posted: 15 Jul 2019 11:31 AM PDT New from Protoform and made for the demanding 1/8th IC Track class is the all-new X-15 body shell. The last four 1/8th IC On-Road IFMAR Worlds Championship winners have relied on Protofornm to finish on the top step of the podium. In their quest for a 5th straight, PF have developed the X-15 race body. The “X-15” name is legendary and carries with it an enduring reputation of innovation, sheer speed and record setting performance. The new body style has been exhaustively tested by Protoform’s world-class team of drivers and has proven to be a step forward in predictable handling and lower lap times. Many unique shapes and proportions have been developed during its evolution process including streamlined cockpit and never-before-seen shrouding around the engine area. These features are sure to make the body stand out at the track. The X-15 is Global Body Spec compliant and ROAR approved. Made in the USA from high-quality, super-durable polycarbonate, it is available in both Pro-Lite and Light Weight. Included with the body are universal stiffeners with hardware, a stylish decal sheet, and overspray film complete the package.

Protoform Turismo 190mm touring car body shell Posted: 15 Jul 2019 11:19 AM PDT Following a couple of teasers Protoform have introduced their all-new Turismo body shell. Electric touring car racing has undergone yet another evolution since the multi-national championship-winning Type-S was released in 2017. Catering to the demands of racers needing ultra high-downforce, super low-CG aerodynamic body shells, Protoform is proud to release its latest contender for 190mm touring car racing: the Turismo. Designed and produced using the latest in 3D CAD and 5-axis milling technology, the Turismo is packed with new features for performance on track and ease-of-mounting while preparing to dominate the competition. The aerodynamic features include a radical high-downforce design with lowered nose and trunk sections, a cab-forward layout with extended A-pillar ribs for precise turn-in steering, and an extended decklid length with spoiler lip for massive rear grip. The rear wing posts moved outwards for increased stiffness and anti-tuck protection while the rear decklid stiffening ribs tie directly into the wing posts to reduce rear body flex. Sculpted side door panels make for increased stiffness and side bite. Along with the extensive aerodynamic upgrades, Turismo also features the easiest mounting of any Protoform body yet. Returning are PF’s signature mounting marks inside the front wheel arches, allowing to choose body positions in 2mm increments up to +8mm. Adding to these are a 100mm wide grid with hashmarks on the trunk and 70mm wide markings on the hood to easily line-up the chassis’ body posts. When used in combination, all three mounting grids will allow for perfect, repeatable mounting every time. The Turismo is Global Body Spec compliant (ROAR approval pending). Made in the USA from high-quality, super-durable polycarbonate, it is available in both X-Lite (0.5mm, about 70g race ready) and Light Weight (0.7mm, perfect for ETS-spec 90g weight minimum) weights. Included with the body are convenient plastic wing buttons and under-wing “nuts”, with M3 mounting screws. A stylish decal sheet, window masks, and overspray film complete the package.

Elias Johansson doubles at Swedish Cup Rd2 Posted: 15 Jul 2019 04:42 AM PDT The second round of the Swedish 1/10th EP Off-road Cup was held at the K-raceway and hosted by the Karlskrona Miniracing Club recently. The weekend started off with a Friday evening practice session. Come Saturday and 2WD time it was HB Racing’s Elias Johansson who led the way in A1 with Team Associated’s Wilhelm Skjoldebrand and Xray’s Alexander Landen being in a battle for the runner-up spot. For the second round of finals it started to rain and it got to be very slippery. Alexander was able to take profit of the slippery conditions thanks to a matching car setup and smooth driving style, bringing home the win in A2 from Wilhelm and Elias. The third round was the ultimate decider, as all three drivers – Alexander, Elias and Wilhelm – would be in the position to take the overall victory. Again, it was slightly damp, so things were looking good for Alexander. The pace was good, but some first lap trouble saw him drop to 4th on the opening lap just to get back up to 2nd before the end of the race. Up front it was Elias with the overall from Alexander and Wilhelm. Sunday was 4WD time and the conditions were roughly the same, a bit colder and with rain threatening to fall all of the time. Again it was Elias up front with Alexander coming on the 2 spot. In the first A-main Alexander and 3rd place qualifier Wilhelm again got locked in a battle for 2nd which let Elias take off and secure leg 1. For the second round Alexander’s dad made some small adjustments to the speedo and slipper, and all of a sudden found more consistent pace. Alexander tagged along with Elias on the first lap, and Elias made a small mistake at the end of the first lap. Alexander got passed but just as doing so clipped a marker and ended up on his roof as well. This meant that both Elias and Alexander lost positions with Otto Ausfelt taking up the lead. Elias and Alexander were able to chase him down and get past him, and then the battle was on. Alexander was chasing Elias and after a couple of laps was able to make a clean pass. The battle continued, but Alexander was able to retain the position across the finish line. For the final leg the heavens opened up and it was run in full wet configuration. Alexander had a good car in the wet and the pace was really good, however a small first lap incident that Alexander was involved in gave Elias a couple of seconds margin, which was all he needed to secure the win in the final round. Alexander was catching up, but was never able to get close enough to challenge for the win so Alex came in 2nd from Wilhelm Skjoldebrand in 3rd.
