P.Y.Tang XRAY-ORCA TQ denied a win in rain disrupted Total Hobby EP Touring Race (August 28, 2011)

After a successful first race, Total Hobby EP Touring Race was back on August 28, 2011 at the Puteri Mart racetrack in Johor, Malaysia. Attracting more entries from Singapore and Central Malaysia this time, the event competed in 1/10 Open Modified EP Class, 2WD Mini EP Open and an addition of the 1/10 GP Touring Class.



Close competition was seen from the 1/10 Open Modified EP Class, which showed huge improvement in pace from the local drivers. A-Main was highly competed with same qualifying system from last race, where best 2 of 4 rounds was taken for qualifying. The race started off hot with 3 different drivers taking the TQ in the first 3 qualifying. James Ki of Xray took the Round 1, Lee Han Chuang in another Xray took Round 2, while P.Y.Tang started off slow in the first 2 rounds finally led the pace in Round 3 taking TQ, setting the fastest timing of the day 24 laps 5:04.752 at fastest laptime of the day at 12.269s. It was great improvement from P.Y.Tang after changing springs setups and improving the tyre treatment with the NASA Mighty Gripper V2 to suit the high abrasive track. Posing another consistent 24 lapper in Round 4, P.Y.Tang took a light breather for taking the overall TQ. Good results for XRAY which took 7 spots in the A-Main!

Final A-Main showed an even more intense race which starting clean off the line would be crucial. Fresh rubber gave P.Y.Tang a good start off the tone. Ken Ng holeshot taking the 2nd spot immediately was following closely behind P.Y.Tang. Unseparated until the 3rd minute when Ken Ng had contact, while both leaders were passing backmarkers. P.Y.Tang stretched the gap took cruise in for the Final A1 win, with Jonest Wong taking 2nd position and Ken Ng fell to 3rd.
Final A2 was unlucky for P.Y.Tang when he was hit on the first lap at corner 3 dropping him way back to 10th. Unable to recover, P.Y.Tang stopped to conserve his tires. Ken Ng went on to win Final A2, followed by TC Boy and Alister Lim. Unexpected rain disrupted the race with Final A3 cancelled. Unusual ruling by organizer to take both final results denied P.Y.Tang for the win dropping him to 6th overall. Ken Ng claimed 1st overall, Jonest Wong 2nd and TC Boy 3rd.
