The drivers and cars who took part in the race.
S1 cars are ready!
Despite a thunderstorm that stopped just 45mins before flag-off, the race was able to proceed as planned with only a 15 min delay. Just 2mins into the race, Team Quantum climbed up to the top with very consistent laps. They remained in 1st position throughout the first 2 hours, but mechanical problems in the 3rd hour resulting in several pit stops, allowing the 2nd place car of Team Trident to close up the gap and eventually overtaking Team Quantum for the lead.
With just 40mins to the end of the race, both teams were on the same lap, with Team Trident having a 6 sec advantage over Team Quantum. However, at the very last minute, Team Quantum crashed, losing momentum as a result. With the heat off, Team Trident opened up the gap and finally took the checkered flag completing 606 laps, 2 laps ahead of Team Quantum.
It was worthwhile noting that all 9 teams were still running at the end of 4 hours. A great testament to the Spec-R chassis as well as the preparations all teams had made for this event.
RaceWorks Hobbies would like to thank all participants and race sponsors (Spec-R Racing, Overtake RC and Quantum Racing) for making the race possible.
Results for the race are as follows:
The Champion - Team Trident! Congrats drivers!
The 1st runner up - Team Quantum
The 2nd runner up - Team JonHo

As a club racer of the Spec R S1, along with my son who races the same car, we can speak for the reliability and durability of the S1 car.
I hope to report on more successes of the Spec R cars in future issues of the Spec R Racer blog.
