Morning qualify, I had small advantage over most making the only 33 lap. William second fastest only few sec behind made 32 lap. But I knew a Kyosho driver made faster lap and he pulled a 34 lap for TQ in the last round. Rest of the A main made 32.

I am the lonely Serpent 710 in the Touring class. Not sure if any MTX 4 today but they did not made the A or B's main. One NTC3 made the B main ( I think he's from China) so rest of the field were RRR, Of course, it is Kyosho Sponsored race! I wonder when will the MTX4's start to show up at racing. Love to see them in action to break up the RRR dominated field here in HK.

On the FINAL, I started off well and I knew I could not catch the Kyosho driver (but I also "knew" his engine will go BOOP soon ). William had a bad start, he over acceralated and hit the fence, before the first lap finishes, he was down to last position.
At about 3 mins, I was leading (engine problem from the Kyosho driver) but not long I made a mistake and cost me 12sec to get back on track. At the same time William is attracking. He was behind me but we have different fuel timing, I knew he passed me after 15 mins.

My time at the final was not good because I made a wong choice to switch to harder tires! so under steer all the way.

William switched tire also but without problems. He was gainning to the 1st and 2 nd car by small margin each lap, they were all about 10 sec in front of me. ( I should of concentrate my driving so I would have been little faster haha) Willaim passed them , I think, the last 1 min and won by few sec.

So good race for William starting from Dead Last to win this big race in HK.

William bought his PR12 engine from Hobby shop and only a privateer. He have many engines including JP, Max, RB... and he'd choosen Palmaris PR12.. (ok, I better stop )

In Mid Dec, the Final round Kyosho cup. We should see some top Kyosho driver from overseas. Adrien Bertin, Shimo, Mr Andrea Rossi?

More later
