Q4 Update – World Champion ups the pace

Q4 Update - World Champion ups the pace

The Japanese talent that is Naoto Matsukura just got faster with the defending World Champion setting a new fastest time in the fourth qualifier knocking a second of his previous best to move another step closer to claiming TQ honours for the 15th running of the 1:12 World Championships. Once again the Yokomo driver finished ahead of his team-mate Ronald Volker, the German a considerable 6 seconds off his pace. Juho Levanen was third fastest in a round which saw few drivers improve on their times from the opening 3 rounds of qualifying.

Keven Hebert

Setting the sixth fastest time for the round, Canadian Team Associated driver Keven Hebert was the only driver apart from Matsukura inside the Top 10 to improve on his early times.

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.
