Warmth to the mood Driving his HP, he was once again leading the pack with a two-second gap over second place Rito Kooning, driving a US Blackstock alley mic car.
He was holding on to third position well, but with a growing gap between him and the leaders, they would have to stay in power and not make mistakes if they wanted to fight for the leadership. Germany's Marcus Movers was just a second behind Mike Blackstock, but at this level of racing, a second is a long time at the start of the race. heat three Mirai cuts the first corner and almost takes himself and counts the corn again, a goat of the race surprisingly, although he manages to recover and maintains the lead, his concentration must have been affected because he cuts the corner again letting the four-time champions finished, it's ironic to me. pass to take the lead after the end of series three or be final results Luke so stay on top is Japan's masayuki mariah move me up from sixth to second place make Blackstock of the US and retailer Koenig of Switzerland return to third place so here we are have the finalists in order of race David's Pichette Josh Cyril Barry Baker Masami here osaka-jo Johnson John o Oscar Y Anson Craig Drescher Andy Griffith and Mike swagger perhaps the favorite David's Pichette of Great Britain is driving a trinity car , he is the current 12th and 110th European Champion and won this championship in 1994.

nership car to the number one spot, perhaps the most famous and consistent driver of them all, Masami here, Osaka, has come a long way from Japan to compete and is not looking to lose a legend in the US and in Everyone, Joel.

Can he improve that with his Trinity car? A star in the US and wherever he drives. Mike Swagger will be there. doing everything possible to bring his associate to first place, so what is a final? We have 10 drivers in mind, each one more than capable of taking home the trophy. We're in for a fast and furious race. Yes, great, as soon as possible. Haven't we made it through the winter until race

control

? Please, I'm sorry, we need you for the rope stars. They have special pollen that comes out in front. One of the Americans went for him.
They can still chase the big ones, especially the summer here. Zuckerberg's answer and it's count 5 jeongyeon sermon and good attention in this race David, how to get some space on the subway or Assad of Japan in second place Josh in third cheer directly on your HP, let's stop people race leader, are you going to write to me Now it's decided four to five, we have one minute, so one minute and 30 seconds into the race and David's Pichette is still leading from Assam Bihar Osaka with less than a second between them, none of drivers can afford to make a mistake where they race. second he just shows up in the US Johnson is all over the place looking for a spot and just step aside joke there was a master Joe Johnson down in third place when they went seven laps they have a little over two minutes so They miss me, Brown shouts, those are the real curves. revered and strong, a zombie here, the stars once saw him, he is still right behind.
I'm a scary game. I still covered for four seconds, since what I was installing it now, I see with pushing too hard, yeah, it comes in 7 minutes, seven minutes, I think it is. look good in the remaining 15 seconds, the girl was pushing her and Sam is looking at her in the 9 seconds, those who are around now was something that came too late against flying at me, so with a splash SuperDrive takes the win and then warms up one that you now know. He just has to win one of the next two races and he will be crowned 1/12 scale world champion.
It was just the right time for a sporty handshake from Josh Cyril and Mike Swagger and a pat on the head from motorcycle guru Oscar Unison before We asked David how it felt to lead, it's a tough minute and after the first few minutes it was incredibly easy, let's get through the first minute and then good things should happen please, so all eyes will be on special to win this race. and the title is over, can anyone stop him the way he got smashed in front of Jeongsu chasing him? There was the quality of these drivers, they could, people start and you win, okay, here they all come together.
Carter Singh has done a little. demonstration and lock wheel to wheel absolutely the best of driving put in the stands for some tronic tapas work but my simple Zeppelin we have the right so without helmet rice thank God it sounds come Giovanni with less than a minute to go yes Josh Cyril he's going to make a move, he has to make it soon oh he's done it, it's over, what a move Josh Sue has taken the front position he's moving away from, it looks like he's going to take the win and his second heat wasn't quite.
Waiting for a hit, but yes, very happy once again. They are good during the race, but after the race that is good, so during the race it doesn't bother me at all, but after the race it starts to shake badly, so the results of the second series were the same. Next to take the win was Josh Sherrill of the USA, in second place was David's Pichette and third was Barry Baker. It all depends on Josh Cyril and David's Pichette. Now Josh needs to take the win in the series. Three auspicious ones will be crowned champions, so at seven.
The minute mark disaster already happened to Joe Cheryl. He is out of the race and the stage is moving towards victory. He just needs to finish the race to secure the world title. Now this is what you were waiting for. 27. See, the reason we are on the second job. Try anything, it was a decent thing, don't laugh, shots get you out of the way, so Josh Cyril recognizes Bichette SuperDrive and it's time for the Trinity team to start celebrating Trumpkin, since you feel amazing the second time, the first is quite good with the second. time, from start to finish, I think I was thinking 2cv, yes, we have made another break.
Oh ladies, gentlemen, see you 90, world road champion, Davis Michelle, first of all, hearty congratulations and great race, did you run the second stage just to cheer up the entire audience? No, I wish that after you went to the first leg, the second, Joshua was really very close, we have a lot of pressure and about seven minutes I relaxed a little bit, so I retreated in the second space, touched some boards and he caught towards above. I just pushed a little bit of dirt into the tire going wide, you know, when you win a game off the line here, so you didn't do it so first when you made it look so easy and the third, my God, you were so lucky.
The bug, yes the start gave me about a two second lead on everyone, I just drove around the fractional window I normally work in, just making sure I didn't hit a board, I didn't like it at all, seven minutes will start to lose ground , you didn't lose power, I mean. How many laps did you do at the end? Only three, yes, how these cells are available without a prescription. We can go buy new equipment, plus new staff, people just buy over the counter and that's what you just stop. Things with Sonia are worse now, so whatever you are going to do this weekend, do it again.
We have the touring car starting in two days and you are taking protein too. I'm taking protein or I'll be here for another one. 10 days the Triple Crown 300 good luck thank you very much thank you this is auto racing scale mentoring at its finest after the 12 skills championship ended a bigger and faster track was built for the International World Touring Car Cup of Skills The racing format will also be different during the three days of racing, each driver will have to compete with his team in which his first seven results count towards the final positions. Starting in a different grid position for each series will ensure that all drivers will at some point compete against each other. another and a true champion will be crowned, so let's join the12-skill world champion David's machette for a ride around the track.
Tomorrow, David, there are a lot of fast guys around here, but you are certainly one of the fastest. What we would like to do is First, explain to us some of the tips and hints behind this track. What is the real surface? I guess it's not just a normal mat, it's not like the usual stuff you get in your house, now it's a premium felt mat, made for industries, it's basically a heavy duty mat and so with the thousands of cars that They will ride it just won't wear out, it has a lot of grip and as the race goes on the traction will get more and more and more at the end you will probably see the cars flip over.
Well, here we are on the streets, obviously the fastest part of the track, it's a pretty long straight, doesn't that cause any problems? Yes, because cars with permanent four-wheel drive have a lot of resistance, so your motor, your battery and your gear ratio have to be perfect, otherwise you won't last all the time. Okay, let's go to the end and find out where you start to brake. Good. So how long is the street? Do you know exactly? It's 35 meters long from apex to apex, so in reality it's probably 40 meters in total mmm runoff areas and It's a pretty wide track, do you have any problems keeping an eye on the car from that distance?
No, it's really good. The actual lane weights are three meters wide, so it's no problem to turn around the track right when you are. When you're trying to overtake, it gets a little tight because after the cars are quite wide, sure passing someone if they don't want you to, it's almost impossible because every corner, it's the apex, it's quite narrow. Well, where do you start? brake as you approach the end of the street here for me as I enter the main straight and I see this sign associated with the team in my vision. I just lift the throttle to about half throttle, okay initially, when I get to the apex I can just tap the brakes just to stop running, why just to give a little more direction and then it goes full speed through the chicane and lanes are quite narrow around here.
I'd take a wide angle, oh, you're probably 3/4 away on the other side. and then you cut it, you get to the apex, you just hit the green and then you just accelerate as hard as possible straight through the chicane. Ok, we're just below the podium. Now the cars have to play close here so they almost seem to be. going faster than on the other side of the track that causes a problem, but you have very good vision, since you are just below the podium, here you are pretty close to the top speed because you have had the long run from the corner before, but it is a very, very good place to overtake, very, very wide, there is a big braking zone, you can be very, very late, it is also a hairpin, so some people misjudge that it opens, you can pass very quickly, OK?
David, here we are on the podium, what difference does it make when the stands are full of spectators? Obviously this is a World Championship so it has to feel different to just a club race. Being a World Championship makes it different. I mean your level of concentration. it's much higher, you're trying harder, people expect a certain amount from you because it starts like the Stansfield, I never realized I'm trying to focus so much on my car, don't read the type, pay attention to anything else outside, okay, thank you very much. Thank you very much, thank you very much, our coverage begins with the heat of one hundred and twenty-one cars;
Watch out for our car six, Craig Drescher and car eight, Joel Johnson, in the commentary box is Chris Kennedy, he's in third position, darling, what a star they are. Joel Johnson, he wants that twenty-first lap, he's pushing everyone out the way that comes to mind, your guy in the back, he's passing too, let's go to the straight again, it's Dave, it's Craig Drescher, thanks Daniel , then it's Joel Johnson, now in second place and chasing his prey. Drescher as we move forward there's about 50 seconds left for the orange car to lead that's the orange car now passing by some slower cars coming out and then the slower cars better go out fast because Joel Johnson Craig suits up in the straight Joel Johnson is in the Straight Goats awards see Kyle short term with two slower cars on the road, they have their own Joe Jon style lap time and Joe Johnson cuts a slower car that will slow him down a bit as We're down now with around 26.
There are seconds left, two more laps, maybe Craig on the straightaways Joel on the straightaway Joel, let's see if second is for Joel Johnson, will second be for Joe Johnson Joel? The world championship is what it's all about. How much preparation is involved before the event? through probably a year of preparation, especially with the motors and the batteries to make sure we have the best batteries possible, and then with the cars that require about a six-month process to prepare the cars and figure out where you know, you know where Racing is like that, if you have races in that area to find out what the tracks are like and then prepare the cars properly, but you know it's almost a year early you're probably welcome to the track, how is it different from what you're used to? ? to compete in the United States, well, we rarely race on carpet, usually only a couple of times a year and if we do, it's probably only half, not even half the size, probably about a third of this size, maybe thirty meters right away, if that.
It's going to be a long straight, so it's a lot bigger, a lot wider, but it's a great track, you know, it's got a nice layout and you know it's more real, so you can actually race, so yeah, I like it. , you are racing in a team but also for individual trophies and how much rivalry there is between teammates, it is a friendly rivalry that we have, we are having fun in this event as we are having a little more fun, you know, if we are first and second , You know? It's like in the last 30 seconds we can fight, as long as you know that if we hit each other it won't cost us another position for someone behind us, so in a way it's fun in another way, you know.
If your teammates are ahead of you and there's a chance you'll get tangled up and let someone else pass, then you don't really run, you just have to hold your position and make sure the third person on the other team doesn't get a run. position because of a mistake or because you make it, but it's so we have a lot of fun. No, David and I had a couple of good races yesterday because we started in the lead and we didn't have anyone very close, so in fact, we could have a little fun, so yes we have a friendly rivalry, but that's it with the cars of international skills tutoring, this is a new class to some extent, is this something you enjoy or do you still prefer 12 and proton racing?
Touring cars are a blast, I think you can slide them, you know they have full fenders, you can lean on people and you usually have enough race time to have fun and you know. Going for a run and not really having to worry about race time, so in the US it's very popular and it's probably one of my favorite classes. Now is a good time and they look like cars that you know people can relate to. okay Jill thank you very much and good luck thanks salsa heat 132 Bichette and his osaka go head to head Masami expects a lot of ground from v on the ground there in the racing tunnels and a lace start and he is already in second place as Jean a Lacy star of the Sámi there apparently the cars are pulling away from the rest of the field, the 112 world champion leading the race in this 1/10 scale saloon with Yokomo's Masami in second place and this is what it looks like in the World Cup shootout in the At that moment, Masami does a soundtrack-type driving maneuver in the biggest corner, but he's certainly catching up to four-wheel drive at the moment, but Dave's smash eats are very difficult They do not break and break under pressure.
Masami is actually pulling the open the gap on his own or shorten the gap just a little bit Dave throws him on the straight now, turn Kyosho and Masami is slowing down but unfortunately there is an end that goes away from the road, brilliant handling there next to the car who drives that yellow car, car number. 7 just to get off the road and the gap is narrowing and since then it's tional, as Murray would say, and less than a second between these two cars and smash, it's in trouble and masami is in trouble or hiccups there with the Audi getting in the way in the path. in the top corner they are going up towards the last 27 seconds now it is 9 5 6 1 8 3 2 7 4 and 10 that is the batting order ladies and gentlemen with splashes coming towards me now and moving away Masami continues towards the straight now 1 .th and 2nd by the narrow Royal Sequoia, so turn by the open ko, oh, and a spacious being nearby in a big way.
Asami goes outside. Okay, it's great to see so many Americans here for the championships. Are you happy with the temple park? The Center as a place now I think is a great place. I think this is probably the best 12 scale meeting I've ever been to. The English have really done a great job organizing the work and the meeting place is nice and big, you know, there are a lot of them. of successful space there are good restaurants. I think the BRCA and the officials have done a great job. There are a lot of established names here, like Jill Johnson, David Passion, Masami Craig Drescher, and they've all been driving very well, but have you seen any new faces?
Promising young drivers who impressed you like that, it's hard to find new and upcoming stores, but I'm sure there are, but since I don't get the chance to see Craig or Masami every day. Basically, I enjoy watching them like most people do, so I spend most of my time watching my own team and timing them and trying to get information on the cars and then, you know, I like to watch the other shops, as you know. Masami and Mike Swagger Craig Ferry, all those Trinity guys are always at the forefront of new equipment developments. Is there anything you have on cars this week that we might see in stores there in a few months or maybe a year on Tuesday?
We are working on two new products that will be available very soon. We have a new modified engine called D three and a half. It is a new version of our popular D3 engine. We couldn't compete with him in the championships because. due to the time delay but it will probably be available early fall and it is an improvement on the d3 engine which has been a pretty popular engine for us but there have been some people you know who wanted a more efficient engine for maybe a touring car or 12. scale on the road and we have tried to improve the d3 with some different metal that we are using in the laminations in a different can design so that it is available and we have a new discharge board with six LEDs that are connected to each cell and has a fan and you know that both items will be available very soon.
Okay, you and Motors know that your team seems to be performing very well right now, so good luck for the rest of the week. that's what we see some rarer charity drivers on the podium. Okay, thanks, I hope, we are in the pits of the World Championship. I'm with Steve and Paul from Schumacher Racing. Stephen, can you tell us a little bit about what? You have here in the pit, this is your headquarters, right? Yes, definitely what we have here is Schumacher's latest SST 2000 car and the modifications we have on it, the full carbon fiber setup and the micro. shocks, these are marginal views everywhere, but for this race alone we've made a couple more adjustments, including putting smaller rings on the shop axles to limit travel, which somewhat stops the car from gripping.
The next major type of adjustment we do What we've done is use different inserts from front to rear, he's a lot harder sitting in the front, stopping the tire from rolling and getting the car rolling again. What adjustments will I make between each sheet or will I make small adjustments to the camber plus The negative camber, which is the top we lean on, will give Margaret's car what caused it to spin with grip, so in this race I'm not using no cam on the back and positive on the front, which gives it less grip, which makes it more consistent, okay? about some of her other equipment and explain to us what we have in front of us.
Well, here is the Schumacher CCD mm charger. Characteristics. This charge has this now to charge, discharge and cycle the cells. I have the Tim team, our iron cells. Normally I would. use 10 sets of these throughout the meeting. Here is Lister's Paragon Ground Effects tire additive, which is a very, very good additive. How important has the strap been in this meeting?
