P.Y.Tang from Team Singapore takes Acorn Racing and Nasa to podium of 4WD GT Tamiya Asia Cup Finals 2011 (October 2, 2011)


















P.Y.Tang from Team Singapore reported to us taking 3rd in the 4WD GT Class at the Tamiya Asia Cup Finals 2011. Using the Acorn Racing Tyre Rejuvenator and Nasa Mighty Gripper V2 combination for tyre treatment in his Tamiya TA06Pro throughout the event, it gave P.Y.Tang necessary traction to run in the extreme outdoor environment carpet track. P.Y.Tang started in 3rd position after 6 rounds of qualifying. Although a good start and contending for the win in Final A1, P.Y.Tang hit the side walls on the long straight and fell to 3rd. Final A2 was not so lucky as P.Y.Tang had an electrical failure. A better run in Final A3 finishing 2nd, although leading for the first minute but dropped down to 7th after a contact from behind. P.Y.Tang final words after the event said that "finishing on podium was great and wishing Nicholas Lee good luck at the Tamiya World Championships".

Recent ORCA BL Open held at the Planet Speedway, Malaysia. In the Open(Turbo) class it was not too much of a surprise, but it was the "0" timing class which saw CP Wong took a 1 lap lead in the qualifying to TQ the "0" timing class. Also we saw Mike Lim qualifying 3rd from behind which is a valiant effort and another testiment for ORCA's product ranging from the VRITRA ESCs, Infinite Batteries and the RX-2 Motor's performance.

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.
