ARC R10 2015 1st Runner-Up at 2014 RCMC Singapore Nationals Round 4

Running a fully-updated ARC R10 2015, P.Y.Tang came in 2nd in the Modified Class at the 2014 RCMC Singapore Nationals Round 4 held at the large PA Track at East Coast Parkway. Powered by ORCA, P.Y.Tang finally found a package with a much better pace going into round 4, comparing to the first two rounds.

Qualifying was delayed due to the morning thunderstorms, which believe to have reduced the grip level of the track. P.Y.Tang stated that the rain affected his laptimes possibly due to the reduced grip level and needing to re-tune the speedo power.

However, grip level increased during mid-day and with a setup change to the tires in the finals, P.Y.Tang finished 2nd in Final Leg 1 about 2sec behind the leader, and also managed to take the win in Final Leg 2. In Final Leg 3, a costly mistake over the curb in lap 2 dropped P.Y.Tang to 6th, which he only managed to climb up to 3rd, therefore finishing 2nd overall.
