Masami Quickest after First Practice!!!

Masami Hirosaka has claimed the No.1 spot in the reseeding of the heats
after a blistering run saw him become the first and only driver to
break into the 19 laps on Day 1 of the IFMAR Worlds in Thailand. The
Japanese master predicted better traction for the second controlled
practice and increased the punch on his speedo accordingly to once
again top the time sheets and claim an important early mental victory
over his rivals as he will now lead away the fastest group of drivers
for the heats.



Jilles Groskamp put in a great second controlled practice to go No.2 in
the reseed. The Tamiya/Speed Passion driver was clearly very happy with
the run. While his team-mates are struggling with the set-up on their
TRF416 World Edition, the Dutch driver has his working well. Although
describing the run as far from perfect, Groskamp admit to finding most
of his time from watching Masami’s lines around the RCS which he said
are ‘perfect’.

well done Elliot Harper ,8th position after first Practice Not too bad at all

Would be great to see the master win a worlds again.

Would be even better to see Elliot or Andy win. If not ...... any Hot Bodies driver to win will do. lol

I think he never won 10th scale if so I also hope he will win but he probably gonna retire if he get the title that's the sad point...
