XRAY-ORCA win at the Total Hobby EP Touring Race (July 31, 2011)

Ken Ng (left), P.Y.Tang (right)

Organizer Total Hobby put up a race on July 31, 2011 at the Puteri Mart Race Track in Johor Bahru which attracted over 30 drivers in the 1/10 EP Touring Class and 1/10 2WD Mini Open Class. With 2 mains in the 1/10 EP Touring Class, qualifying format was slightly different from the usual best 1 of 3 rounds. 4 qualifying rounds were ran with 2 best to count. This format gave a new challenge to the drivers which consistency was crucial. Track layout was small and technical, with track surface very rough making tire wear harsh.



Top qualifying position went to P.Y.Tang who made 24 laps twice in round 1 and 3. Cloudy weather made track temperature to stay well below 40degC in the qualifying rounds which made car settings a bit easier without changing too many things, while using the Acorn Racing Tyre Cleaner with the Mighty Gripper V2 gave an extra edge of traction for P.Y.Tang. B.H.Gan surprised the crowd which he ran a consistent run managed to jump into 2nd spot in the last round of qualifying, overtaking the local favorite Ken Ng who settled in 3rd spot. It was a good start for Xray drivers as top 7, and 8 drivers in the Top 10 were all running the Xray T3 and T3'11.

Top 10 Qualifying Standings (Open Modified):
1. P.Y.Tang - Xray T3'11 - ORCA - 24 laps 5:17.548 (R1), 24 laps 5:16.495 (R3) - 0 pts
2. B.H.Gan - Xray T3'11 - 23 laps 5:02.038 (R2), 23 laps 5:06.012 (R4) - 4 pts
3. Ken Ng - Xray T3'11 - 23 laps 5:02.778 (R2), 23 laps 5:00.069 (R3) - 5 pts
4. James Ki - Xray T3'11 - 23 laps 5:09.401 (R2), 23 laps 5:01.937 (R3) - 7 pts
5. Lee Han Chuang - Xray T3 - 23 laps 5:02.423 (R1), 23 laps 5:11.478 (R2) - 7 pts
6. Bernard Lee - Xray T3 - 23 laps 5:05.897 (R1), 23 laps 5:12.634 (R4) - 8 pts
7. Ah Loon - Xray T3 - 22 laps 5:02.682 (R1), 23 laps 5:12.361 (R3) - 10 pts
8. Paul Lok - Tamiya TRF417 - 22 laps 5:04.579 (R1), 22 laps 5:01.413 (R2) - 12 pts
9. David Lai - Yokomo BD5 - 22 laps 5:04.948 (R1), 22 laps 5:00.420 (R3) - 14 pts
10. Ming Kai - Xray T3 - 23 laps 5:13.216 (R3), 22 laps 5:06.796 (R4) - 15 pts



The finals was rather interesting this time, with 3 different drivers each won a final. Final A1 won by P.Y.Tang about 5 seconds ahead of Ken Ng in 2nd and Jonest Wong in 3rd. In Final A2, P.Y.Tang was on a cruising mode to take the win but a mistake rolling off the curb gave B.H.Gan the lead in the final minute and the win by just 0.5s, while Ken Ng followed closely in 3rd. With 3 drivers still able to take the overall win from Final A3, the track condition changed, with P.Y.Tang struggled to maintain traction in the first corner at the sound of the tone. Ken Ng took the lead, while B.H.Gan squeezed into 2nd spot. Half way point B.H.Gan broke his rear belt and lost a lot of power dropping him down in the group. P.Y.Tang retook 2nd spot, with Ken Ng taking the win in Final A3. Points were tied but better oeverall timing went to P.Y.Tang for the overall win. Ken Ng took a respectable 2nd denying B.H.Gan who finished in 3rd.

Final Standings (Open Modified):
1. P.Y.Tang - Xray T3'11 - ORCA - 199 pts
2. Ken Ng - Xray T3'11 - 199 pts
