Gruber again in Q2 – Update

Hong Nor’s Toni Gruber made it two from two in qualifier at the 1:8 GT World Championship, the German heading home top seed Jeff Hamon. Opting to run another set of new tyres for the second qualifier, Gruber was unable to match his opening 24-lap run reporting afterwards that the tyres felt different but also accepting track conditions may have changed. On second run tyres, Serpent’s Hamon would finish over 4-second down on his rival with another good run from Genius Racing’s Alex D’angelo seeing him go third fastest from the Xray of Natanaele Senesi. Bernard-Alain Arnaldi and Gabriele Paloschi completed the Top 6. While drivers appeared to have a better handle on the 7-minute run time compared to Q1, unfortunately it was another disappointing round for No.3 seed Andrea Catanzani as he flamed out during the top heat.

After the recent ISTC World Championships in California, Red RC gets ready to switches from electric power to nitro power as well as travel to the other side of the World to bring you coverage of the 10th edition of the IFMAR 1:10 Nitro World Championship. With support from Maxima RC Racing Fuel, T-Work’s Asia, Rapicon Max Power RC Fuel, SMART-Workshop, and Infinity, we are excited to be returning to Huge RC Circuit in Bangkok, Thailand, the track of former ISTC World Champion Suirkan Chaidajsuriya hosting the WC for a second time. In 2014 we got to witness Alexander Hagberg claim his first & Xray’s second World title at this unique (and huge!) indoor track. With 2024 a year that we have already seen two historic World title hat tricks, will we see Infinity’s Tadahiko Sahashi become the first ever driver to defend their 1:10 Nitro title? Our coverage starts on November 19 (Tuesday) and runs through to Saturday’s title deciding 1-hour final. We looking forward to you following along as IFMAR crowns its final World Champion of 2024.
