We held the Yokomo Off-Road Challenge in conjunction with the G-FORCE-hosted GFCC at Tsukuba RC Park. Although the only class was the RO 21.5T, high-level drivers gathered to put on a fantastic race.
Many participants traveled from the Kansai region for the event, and despite having little experience driving at Tsukuba RC Park, they delivered impressive performances. While the class was limited to 20 participants, the Kansai contingent ended up sweeping the podium with outstanding results.
Winner Koushi-senshu has shown great speed in previous Yokomo-hosted races, but perhaps reflecting his rapid development, he secured an overwhelming victory in this race by finishing well ahead of the rest of the pack. He is definitely a driver to watch in the future.
Koushi-senshu's car featured a relatively orthodox RO setup. Beyond his driving skill, I suspect his precise machine build and tuning were also key factors in his success.
