H-K1 in Race (2011)

We have the good news from Hong Kong!!!

Race name: 2011 Hobbypro Cup in Hong Kong

Date: Nov,5~6th

Place: TRC, Hong Kong

H-K1 Titles:

1. Best lap — Hang (19.233 sec)

2. 2nd Place — Hang

Race Report:

At the beginning, It was not very smooth finish for Hang in the qualify rounds because some accident, otherwise Hang could TQ the race because his laptime is similar to Jilles Groskam and Ronald Volker. Finally Jilles took the TQ and Hang start on 3rd in the A Main final.

When the A-final start, Hang was hitted immediately by another car and become the last position to chase up. But within one tank Hang came back rapidly form 10th position to 3rd, and after one refill he already past Ronald Volker and chasing Jilles.

At 15 mins he past Jilles and took the lead, until the last mins Hang was still in the first postion but the MC announcement was very confusing that he thought he finished the last lap and won the race, but then the MC announced again they still need to finish the last lap, and at that moment Ronald Volker past him and took the champion title with only 0.18 sec.

It was a little disappointment for him because Hang should have won the race without any problem.

However it was still a aggressive result because he was testing the new side battery chassis version and feel that the handling was really really good!!!

We KM are working on lots of new ideas and new parts for the coming new version.

And we will release side battery chassis conversion set and lots of new option very soon.

We have great news from Thailand!

Fabricio Zamperetti and KM driver Anderson Becheli, who is racing in expert class to gain experience, in 3rd.

It was a really hard battle that there are so many very fast germany drivers in their home track.In A Final Dario stay in 4th position for very long time and went up to 3rd before his receiver had probelm with the plub came out and he lost 8~10 laps from there.

But Dario prove that H-K1 has the ability to fight with them and putting H-K1 in Top 10 even Mugen is only one car there.Other famous brands like Kyosho,Serpent,Capricorn…even home home track for Sheperd couldn’t be there…so We would like to thank him again for the great effort!!!

Below is his race report:

Hi! I returned yesterday night from european championship..I did my best to be able to enter into final.. at the end of final i had a problem with the receiver and i stop for 8~10 laps..if not I would still have chance been stay on or better than third place..

i think that for KM the final of european championship is a important result for now,and this is the first important race for me with H-K1, and i work all effort for arrive in final, BUT MY COMING TARGET IS WIN. However, for me is important to do a great job to go with KM in the final of EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSIP this time!

The next coming important races for KM is next month’s JMRCA All Japan National Championship,then Oct is the Italian national Championship and in Nov is the World Championship Warm-up race in Thailand.

We KM are working very hard and very quickly for any possible improvement of the car and sufficient new parts to make the H-K1 even better and faster in the shortest coming days,and our final goal will be the 2012 IFMAR World Championship Title!!
