The final run under wet condition so track was slippery. Everyone were trying to find the best tyres ( some had rain tyres) some use whatever method possible to get more grip from the tires. So funny, check out the photo to see what drivers do to their tires.

Fukuda decided not to race because of wet track.
1/8, I won the race. by few laps because I had the right tires. Sorry winning is winning
Using Velox and Special prepared ATS tyres.
Titan Blitz New 1/8 body ( watch out this new body)

Nice track....

kitracer

Yes, not bad at all. Next year around May, I think they will held another big race with many international drivers coming.
Hotel we stayed also very good and cheap approx US$30/night. Shanghai also nice place to visit and food no doubt, very good as well.

here are few more photos

Can you post the adress of the track? If you have information on other tracks in Shanghai area, especially offroad 1:8, I would appreciate information on that to.

Reason is simple. Since oktober I life ca 40% of my time in Shanghai. I am involved on advice and helping Chinese based companies and goverment institures out on starting up R&D programms (horticulture and biotech engineering). I would definitely like to keep up my driving skills in Shanghai to (in fact at the moment right now I am in Shanghai, will return to NL for newyear and be back end januar). I am hooked on 1:8 offroad but so far I did not find an offroad track in Shanghai. Would run onroad 1:8 rallygame if there is nothing else.
In Guangzhou where I stayd a few days there was a good track and race at the moment I was there. I did hear of this a few days after the race-event. Some drivers I know from joining the same Europe race scene where over for that race (drivers of the Ishima racing team). It is pitty I did not knew of that race. I would have joined for sure to measure up with and getting acquanted with chinese drivers. Will stay on parttime living in China for at least 3 years.
