Kyosho Masters in Japan - Racingday

Then it was time to go to the track and it was a beutiful day with sunshine and really warm weather.

Today the track looked much better than the water track yesterday.


I think it was around 70-75 drivers in 3 classes - Sport / Expert / Elite, so i don´t think the dessision to cancel the saturday driving had any affect on the number of drivers attending.




All driver together an a picture as always in Kyosho Masters

As it now changet do a one day event they changed the schedule to no practice, 2 rounds of qualifications and 10 minutes sub finals and 15 minutes finals in the classes.
This made it no space for testing and changes so it had to be testing in the qualification rounds.

In the first round David was TQ and in the 2nd we made some changes that was nog god so i think he enden 5th ... but TQ overall and thats nice.

Then it was the final and starting as car no 1 in this short final was very impartant.
The final started with David first but in the middle of the track Tanaka landing on David so he was loosing to 9th position and stocked behind some other cars.
I made a dicition to refuel after 6 minutes and maybe pass some cars when they refuled, and it worked, but in the last lap he was 5th and run out of fuel as either the engine took more fuel than i guessed or i didn´t fill it up total ... who now.

To bad but thats happend even if it was a long time since last time.

Now ( in 15 minutes) we are leaving for airport and i will summarize this trip when i got home... see you all



The prize-giving. Sadly i have no top 3 pictures as my camera run out of battery.

Hi guys,

Sorry to hear about the fuel; but it happens...
Really great blog-entry, and believe me - we're a lot of jealous guys, who would have loved to been there driving or as support :-)

Have a great flight back to the cold Scandinavia, and looking forward to read the summarize later :-)

All the best
Flemming

Borta bra, men hemma bäst.. ;)
Tack för rapporteringen. Det fick Kyosho Masters att låta som vilket klubbrace som helst, på ett sätt, men kanske ändå inte.
