Singapore Street Racing – Too fast to handle

Mitsubishi Evo 9 driver, Lester Wong, is now leading in the Fastest Timing of the Year award. He had manage to break 2 consecutive records with 7.05sec during the first round and 6.78sec in the second round that has taken place in the first half of the year. The record timing for last year’s event was set by WRX driver, Lim Lean Tek with a time of 7.30sec.

Honda Civic EG 6 driver, Eddie Ng, is surely the man to watch for in the N.A category. He had dominated during the first and second round, claiming pole position for both the Sprint and the Supersprint event.
Eddie is currently on the top of the list for the FTY in the N.A category, registering a timing of 8.26sec during Round 1 and 8.36sec in Round 2. His toughest competitor for that award is Edgar J D who is also a Honda Civic EG 6 driver, has clocked his personal best timing of 8.88sec during Round 1.

Sprinting down the 201metres race strip may seem easy to some of us. In actual fact, appropriate skills and techniques must be applied during the launch-starts to get a good timing. An inexperienced driver will commit mistakes such as wheel spins and Jumpstarts.

Setting a perfect race car is also no easy matter. Every reformation performed must be made to perfection. Even the slightest impairment would affect the driver’s performance. That is why the relationship of driver and the mechanic must be reciprocal.

Other than watching these high speed actions, there will be concurrent events highlights on-going within the compound as well. It will be the last chance to qualify for the Finals of all the other Events Highlights on that day; Autostyling Challenge, Ultimate Sound Challenge and the Race Queen Search. The finale will be held on 4th November, in conjunction with the 4th round of the MPT Sprint/Supersprint.
