| Posted: 20 Feb 2018 07:51 AM PST The 2018 DOG race was held at the Feiteng outdoor track in Guangzhou, China with local drivers as well as guest from Hong Kong in attendance. Drizzle on Sunday morning meant the start of the race was delayed by about an hour but once things got underway it was Alfred Lao Min Hao who lead the way in the Touring Modified class from young Ma Hao Ran in 2nd. The opening A-main was clearly won by Alfred who in turn had some difficulties with backmarkers in A2 that was won by Ma Hao Ran. So the final main would decide the overall result and in the end it was Alfred Lao Min Hao with the win from Ma Hao Ran and Chan Chau Man in 2nd and 3rd respectively. In the 1/10th 200mm Nitro Touring class it was Chan Chau Man from Hong Kong with the TQ from Ma Hao Ran and Alfred Lao Min Hao. Front the start of the main final it was Chan Chau Man in the lead with the top 3 staying in qualifying order until the 20-minute mark when the lead changed and things would further mix up when the leader had to retire at the 30-minute mark. This promoted Ma Hao Ran into the lead that he would hold onto until the checkered flag. Chan Chau Man came in 2nd and Alfred Lao Min Ho snatched a lucky 3rd place after a somewhat problematic 1-hour main as he was hampered by a poorly tuned engine. Source: Xray [teamxray.com] |

| Xray Racing Series Australia Rd1 – Report Posted: 20 Feb 2018 07:12 AM PST The opening round of the Xray Racing Series Australia was held recently in perfect weather conditions. Overnight rain on Saturday washed away the sugar added to the surface and so round one for everyone was slippery but the track grip did come back up 95 percent by the end of the day. In Modified Touring it was Xray’s Ari Bakla with the win from Yokomo’s Simon Nicholson and Awesomatix driver Jeffrey MacKie. Modified TC 13.5 Touring saw Micky C taking the win from Simon Stewart and Hayden Smith. 13.5T Touring final results: 21.5 Touring had Phil Merrick walking away with the win from Ray Zarb and Brendan George in 2nd and 3rd respectively. 21.5T Touring final results: Source: Xray [teamxray.com] |
| BRCA LMP National Rd5 – Report Posted: 20 Feb 2018 06:53 AM PST The fifth round of the BRCA LMP national series take place at the Newbury RC club last weekend. The event took place over two days, with Saturday seeing all drivers competing in the 13.5 Stock class, and Sunday seeing the field split into 6.5 Modified and 13.5 Sports Modified. The club last held a national two years ago, but the huge experience of the organising team saw a small but challenging track laid out for the attending drivers. The Newbury club run on ETS style carpet, and with the mix of touring car additive and large numbers of cars running, the track soon picked up grip and many drivers were adjusting setup to counter grip roll. Over the first four Nationals Saturday’s 13.5T class has been all about David Spashett and his Roche. David has notched up four TQs, four wins and the Championship over the opening rounds. Newbury saw the return of Olly Jefferies to the series, with the Xray driver using the meeting to prepare for the Euros at the end of March – the question was could he topple David? Qualifying saw the battle for TQ between the Roche duo of Spashett and Ollie Payne, and the Xray of Olly Jefferies. David looked to have the edge over the opening rounds, but enormous pressure from Olly Jefferies in the final round saw a rare mistake from David, leaving Olly to claim pole position for Xray from David and Ollie Payne. Only five drivers were within a lap of pole, with Andy Murray and Mark Stiles staying close to the leading trios pace. The A-final was a real treat for the spectators with David leading off Olly J and Ollie P. Over the opening minutes David soaked up the pressure but couldn’t break away. Olly Jeffferies started to look for the gap, and in defence of his line David clipped the dots at the end of the straight taking both himself and Olly wide. Ollie Payne nipped past and took up the lead, from a quickly recovering Olly Jefferies. As the minutes progressed Olly J looked to have a small pace advantage over Ollie P, but was never able to find a gap. At one point Olly J touched the leaders car, but immediately allowed him to retake the lead. As the clock counted down Olly J knew he had to make a move, and a lunge onto the straight saw Olly’s Xray stuck on the barrier, leaving Ollie Payne to cruise to his first 13.5 National win. Olly J’s mistake saw Mark Stiles and Ben Vincent nip through to take second and third at the finish for Associated and Schumacher. 13.5 Stock final results: The 6.5T Modified class saw the leaders from Saturday joined by Alexander Hagberg, Chris Kerswell and Chris Grainger who used Saturday to practice. Over the course of qualifying Alexander Hagberg and his Xray were simply untouchable, taking every round of qualifying, ending up on TQ by six seconds from Ollie Payne’s Roche, who was the only other driver to score 53 laps. Three drivers made 52 laps, with Olly Jefferies, David Spashett and Adam Catchpole all looking to have the pace to challenge for the podium. The A-final saw a chaotic first lap for Alex, with his Xray catching a dot and collecting Ollie Payne. This saw Olly Jeffries and Adam Catchpole into first and second, with a recovering Alex and Ollie behind. Olly Jefferies looked to have a pace advantage over Adam in second and started to pull away. Alex and Ollie were bottled up and took a while to find their way into second and third. Once released Alex piled on the pressure, but his car appeared close to grip-roll and small mistakes dropped him to mid-pack. Ollie Payne was then released to push for the win. At eight minutes Olly Jefferies had managed the gap perfectly to take the win by half a second from the charging duo of Payne and Hagberg, who were both within a second at the finish. 6.5T Modified final results: The Modified Championship is going to the last round, and with news that Alexander will be overseas, it’s between the Roche pairing of Ollie Payne and David Spashett for the championship win. Once again the field in the Sports Modified class was incredibly close, with the drivers covered by under a lap – except for Ben Vincent who was over half a lap faster than second placed qualifier Matt Rice. Although in terms of pace Ben was dominant, he wasn’t consistent, which gave others hope for the final. The front of the grid was completed by Matt Lax, Mark Jewitt and Mick Farrell in fifth, all drivers who have already won this year. The A-final saw Ben Vincent disappoint the watching crowd, by simply disappearing off into the distance to take his second win for the year. Once Ben had a gap it was all about the battle for second. Matt Rice looked to be on course for another podium but a late race mistake saw him drop from second to fourth, allowing a very consistent Mark Jewitt to use all his experience to sneak through for second from Mick Farrell in third. 13.5T Sports Modified final results: The Sports class sees four drivers head into the final round with a chance of the championship, with Mark Jewitt holding a small lead from Ben Vincent, Matt Rice and Mick Farrell. Whoever finishes first wins at the final national at Chesterfield. Source: BRCA [brca.org] |

| Posted: 20 Feb 2018 05:13 AM PST Round 2 of the Rebels Race series was held in Trebešín, Prague, Czech Republic last weekend. This time the organisers prepared a very fast track layout with many fast chicanes and as the track was laid out with ETS carpet the grip level was progressively raising up. In the Modified class it was Matěj Šulc, who won all qualifying rounds to take the pole position spot in front of Marcel Dostál and Petr Grof. Ultimately it was Matěj with the win in first two A-mains from Marcel and Petr. The final A-main would decide the overall podium results and in the end it was Marcel who would hold the upper hand over Petr, that latter was able to close on Marcel but did nit found a way past. Touring Modified top 3 results: The Touring Stock class promised nice battles between Aleš Pelikán, Karel Kratochvíl, Šimon Horák and Kuba Plechač. Thanks to the qualification system, where the two best runs were counted, the drivers were in search of every second. And in the end it was Karel Kratochvíl, who took TQ by two seconds in front of Aleš. Finals were very hard for Karel because Aleš was really pushing on him. Ultimately and thanks to few small mistakes from Aleš, Karel took the overall win in front of Aleš and Šimon. Touring Stock top 3 results: Over in the Formula class it was Šimon Horák with the overall win from Jan Kanina, who had some problems in the qualifiers. In the finals it was a same story as in qualifiers. Šimon won all three legs in front of Jan Kanina and Míra Percl. Formula top 5 results: The 1/12th scale class attracted a total of seven racers. Marcel Dostál was up front right from the beginning, but due to technical issues he didn’t finish 3 out of 4 qualifiers. In the finals however he made a clean sweep to take the win from Ralf Drashler and Radovan Konopík. 1/12th scale top 5 results: The GT class attracted only three drivers. Radovan Konopík held the upper hand with the win in all qualifiers and finals to take the day’s win from Pavel Hejzlar and Ondřej Kohoutek. GT final results: Source: Xray [teamxray.com] |
