2006 JMRCA All Japan TC Championships @ Yatabe Arena
This years JMRCA 1/10 Electric Touring Car Expert Class All Japan Championships take place this coming weekend (17-19.11) at Yatabe Arena, Tsukuba City, Japan.
Qualifying Friday and Saturday, 3 rounds each day for a total of 6 with triple final on Sunday. JMRCA rules for expert class are (?); 4 cell, 1350g, 5 minutes, brushless not allowed, free tyres, free bodies (must be tc body).
International drivers who should be participating include; Andy Moore, Marc Rheinard, Surikarn, Billy Easton, Hupo Hönigl, Chris Graigner, Thomas Pumpler...
Other international guests seems to be at least Oscar from Orion and Duane from Checkpoint.
Ususally it's a battle between Masami and Hara for the win. It'll be interesting to see if Marc or Andy can join the battle for the win this year. It'll also be interesting to see what changes have been made to the cars to accomodate the 4-cell rule.
Results will probably be updated on the JMRCA site after each round as usual; http://www.jmrca.com
Plus there will probably be a lot of interesting coverage on other Japanese sites as well. Post links here and if anybody at the race reads this, please post some reports also!
