Remarks – Running in the Open Brushless class here at the TITC, Indonesian driver Bowie Ginting has put his Serpent X20 4th on the grid for Sunday’s triple A-mains. Running a standard version of the car, the only changes are the use of carbon arm braces for the front and rear arms to reduce flex and the optional top deck stiffener post. Used to running in the same track conditions in Jakarta, he has only modified his home setup a little, running softer oils all around, standing the up the shocks to prevent body roll and widening the track width slightly. An interesting item is the body supports on the front upper a-arms that prevent the body from diving under braking, made using linkages from the previous Project-4X car.

Remarks – Setting the pace in practice and continuing it on into qualifying here at the TITC, Akio Sobue is running the new IF14 II from Infinity. Using the final production ready car, the main difference over its predecessor is the central location of the spur gear which like in other competition cars helps give a more equalised balance between front and rear, however with the motor not having changed position the car continues to maintain a high level of rear traction. The other main change is the focus on ease of use and adjustment, with the front and rear shock towers, steering plate and lower arms all using a neat insert system that allows for repeatable fine tuning of the setup. For Akio himself, he said that he had managed to find a good balance early on in the event and has only had to make some small fine adjustments since.
