ORCA dominated Malaysia National Championships in MBA (July 9, 2012)

It was another round of MNC 2012 held in MBA track. The venue that all of us liked very much. It would not be too much of a surprise that Mr. Jacky Siow and son WoonFoong took the top 2 spots and with another veteran driver taking the top three spots. Running again with the GFT tires proved that GFT has made good effort to maintain the consistency of the tire compound while giving adequate traction through out. The full results are as follows.

ORCA wins Shen Shiang Cup in Kuching, Malaysia (July 8, 2012)

Last but not least its the inaugural Shen Shiang Cup held in Kuching, E. Malaysia. It is one of the rare races where modified motors are ran at the race as the track is pretty big with some running as low as a 4.5T motor and it was a first time for me to drive a real modified motor(6.5T) in Malaysia for a long long time. It was nice to make many new friends and was also nice to see how RC is in E. Malaysia side and am very encouraged by the big turn out for the race. Thank you all for the great hospitality and a very special thank to Danny (Dan 21) for playing a great host during our stay in Kuching.

P.Y.Tang dropped in to share with us on the tire treatment he used at the Tamiya Asia Cup Finals 2012 which he TQ and won in the 4WD GT class. Although car setups were very important for the high traction carpet, P.Y. added that to prevent traction rolling and providing a good corner speed, a good traction compound or tire addictive could also be very advantageous.
