ARC-Muchmore wins 2018 XRS Indonesia

2018 XRS Indonesia took place at the Sunter International Speedway in North Jakarta. A regular visitor, Team ARC P.Y.Tang attended the event. In the 2-day race, 4 qualifying rounds to be competed on Saturday, and the last 5th qualifying round and finals on Sunday.

Speaking with P.Y., he was amused by bringing only modified racing equipment which he found out that there was only a single class of Blinky 13.5T. Able to borrow and buying the necessary parts for stock racing, P.Y. finally got all he wanted for stock racing two days after arriving at the track. On the first day of qualifying, P.Y.Tang's Muchmore-powered ARC R11 topped the group in all 4 rounds. Using only his first of maximum 3 sets, P.Y. continued to dominate the race repeating a TQ run in the Q5. Closest contender would be track owner Suwardi Suliandy, while Izzah, Bowie and Abang also having a good pace.
