Update – Practice complete, Tebo remains fastest

Having been quick right from his first laps around the Yatabe Arena, Jared Tebo has remained at the top of the time sheets at the 1:10 Offroad World Championship. With the four scheduled rounds of practice complete, the Kyosho driver would set the pace ahead of the Team Associated pair Neil Cragg and Ryan Cavalieri.  While Tebo would fail to improve his P3 time despite still running the fastest three consecutive laps of the fourth run, the round did see Cragg reduce the reigning champion’s distinct advantage from almost one second down to 6/10ths. Having been second fastest after P3, Tebo’s team-mate Naoto Matsukura would end up 4th behind Cragg and Cavalieri who were separated by just 2/1000ths of a second.  P4 would see strong improvements in pace coming from 4WD Worlds Top Qualifier Joern Neumann and reigning 4WD World Champion Steven Hartson who found 8 and 9/10ths respectively.  With practice complete, Day 1 of the 16th running of the IFMAR World Championship will conclude with 2 rounds of Controlled practice of which a drivers fastest 3-consecutive laps will determine what qualifying heat they will run in tomorrow.
