OneTen系列賽將迎來迄今為止競爭最激烈的兩輪賽事 / OneTen series set for most competitive rounds to date

繼10月在上海成功舉辦由Infinity冠名的OneTen系列賽後，OneTen賽會對即將於12月1日至2日在香港舉辦的第3輪及第4輪賽事充滿了期待。在著名的TRC車場舉行的比賽將是本賽季的首次室外賽，比賽將繼續使用Sweep公發輪胎。鑒於香港的競技水平非常之高，且本賽季剩餘的輪次全部會在省港地區舉行，我們預期會有許多賽員從TRC開啓自己這個賽季的徵程。與10月的比賽一樣，數位國際頂級車手將加入本地車手的行列，與大家同場競技。他們包括第1輪和第2輪的Modified組冠軍Akio Sobue和他的Infinity隊友Jin Sawada；在RCI V2統治了Scorpion Stock組別的Jan Ratheisky將繼續同時參加Modified與Stock兩個組別的比賽；因為個人原因缺席上海兩輪賽事的Nicholas Lee期待自己能夠在TRC帶領Yokomo車隊開創出良好的局面。更多比賽及賽程信息請點擊此處查詢。第3輪與第4輪比賽的報名已經開始，與其他輪次一樣，比賽人數限定為100人。

Following a successful start to the OneTen series presented by Infinity in Shanghai back in October, the series organisers are excited to go to Hong Kong for the 3rd and 4th round of the championship on the 1st and 2nd of December. Held at the awesome TRC facility, the series will have its first outdoor round run on control Sweep tires as we look forward to welcoming all the local Hong Kong racers. With such a high level of competition in the country, and with all the remaining rounds of the series held in this region, we can expect to see a lot of drivers to kick off their championship challenges at this race. Joining the locals at this event, we can again confirm entries from round 1 & 2 Modified class winner Akio Sobue, as well as his Japanese Infinity team mate Jin Sawada. Jan Ratheisky, who dominated the Scorpion powered Stock class at RCI V2 will once again return to race both classes. Unable to attend the opening rounds due to personal reasons, Nicholas Lee will hope to get his title ambitions kicked off in style as he heads the Yokomo challenge at TRC. More information about this, and all future, rounds of the series can be found here, while entry for rounds 3 & 4, which like all rounds is limited to 100 entries, is now open here.

Sobue與Ratheisky统治上海站 / Sobue & Ratheisky dominate in Shanghai

延續昨天在由Infinity冠名的OneTen系列賽上的狀態，TQ選手Akio Sobue與Jan Ratheisky分別勝出Sweep Modified組及Scorpion Stock組的A組決賽。單輪8分鐘的A組決賽10人由從B組晉級的勞敏皓補全。Sobue以堪稱統治性的表現領先Jan 6秒衝線，其後是緊追不捨的Jin Sawada。德國人與Jin兩天戰罷，決賽積分相同，預賽最佳完賽成績也一樣，最終比較決賽中的最快單圈分出了勝負。Jan以微弱優勢獲得上海站比賽的第二。黃揆笙與張方洲分獲本週末比賽的第四與第五。

Carrying forward their form from the opening round of the OneTen Series presented by Infinity yesterday, top qualifiers Akio Sobue and Jan Ratheisky have won their respective Sweep Modified and Scorpion Stock A-mains. The single 8-minute final saw the grid completed with Lao Minhao winning the B-main to bump up to the A-main. In a rather dominant performance Sobue won his final by 6 seconds from Jan followed by a hard charging Jin Sawada. The German taking the tie break for the overall Shanghai standings due to his fastest lap in today’s final, having had equal results in both the overall result and qualifying across both days. Gary Huang and Rocket Zhang completed the top 5.

Akio對自己的發揮和IF14車架的狀態都非常滿意，他認為自己在本週末的表現可謂完美。他還提到比賽過程非常乾淨有序，即便是10台車行駛在RCI的小型賽道上，依然沒有遇到任何阻擋的慢車。因為在決賽起步後迅速建立起了領先優勢，日本車手說他在最後階段很放鬆，只是確保自己穩定駛回終點。

Akio was very pleased with his race and also his Infinity IF14, saying it was perfect all weekend. He also commented that the race was very clean and traffic not a problem at all, despite the 10 cars on the small RCI V2 track. Pulling out such a margin early on in the race, the Japanese driver said he took it easy in the last few minutes and drove it steady to the end.

Ratheisky說，「我試著跟上Akio，但很快這個戰術讓我感到過於冒險，所以我在最後階段也放鬆了下來」。在事先瞭解了平分決勝規則後，他明白自己需要做出更快的最快單圈，所以他在起步後拼得非常凶，而這個策略起到了作用。在最後數分鐘進入巡航模式，他知道Jin會接近自己，但德國人評論說，「接近我是一回事，但在這條賽道上進行防守很簡單」。

Ratheisky said, ‘I tried to follow Akio, but it became too risky so I took it easy in the last minutes’. Knowing the tie break system, managing to stay in second he needed the fastest lap so pushed very hard in the beginning and it worked out. Slowing near the end to bring it home, he knew Jin would come but the German commented that ‘catching is one thing, but blocking on this track is easy’.

Sawada說他的表現僅僅是「一般般」，但他的車架已經達到了本週末的最佳狀態，他有能力在比賽後段追近Jan，但如同Xray車手所說，在這條緊窄的賽道上超車，實在太難了。

Sawada said his race was only ‘so so’, but with his car the best it had been all weekend he was able to push Jan near the end of the final but as the Xray driver commented it is very tight and difficult to pass here.

上海站最快的中國車手、全國冠軍黃揆笙在決賽中發揮出色。與Jin一樣，他感覺自己在最後一場決賽中才找到了好設定，一起步車就非常快，不過車架在2分鐘後開始變得有些甩。他對8分鐘決賽的評價是「有趣」。

Top Chinese driver in Shanghai, National Champion Gary Huang came good in the final. Like Jin, he felt he only managed to find a good setup by the time the final came along and was able to start very fast, however the car started to slide after about 2 minutes and he wasn’t able to push for 3rd in the race.

在Stock組別中，所有車手都使用公發的Scorpion 13.5T馬達，因此冠軍Ratheisky身後上演了非常激烈的追逐戰。Jan在比賽初期就拋開了後車集團，他在比賽後段稍微放緩了腳步以避免影響到Heng與Masaaki Kyoyi的第二名爭奪戰，這兩位車手纏鬥了幾乎整整8分鐘。在倒數第五圈，日本車手發生小失誤，被Kenny Yan超越；但他成功奪回了第三位，繼續緊追Heng。由於賽道上缺乏超車的位置，最終兩位車手相差0.5秒衝線，Heng保住了第二，Kyoyi不得不接受第三的排名。

The Stock class, which uses handout Scorpion 13.5T motors, saw some very close racing behind the winner Ratheisky. With Jan checking out early and slowing up near to end to avoid ruining the 2nd placed battle between Heng Heng and Masaaki Kyoyi which lasted almost the entire 8-minutes. A small mistake 5 laps in saw the Japanese driver drop back to 3rd behind Kenny Yan, but he was able to regain the position and go back after Heng. In the end the pair were separated by only 0.5 seconds with Heng benefitting from the inability to pass here, meaning Kyoyi had to settle for the final podium spot.

Akio Sobue繼續統治OneTen第二站 / Akio Sobue continues dominance of OneTen Rd2

Akio Sobue斬獲由Infinity冠名的OneTen系列賽第二站Modified組別TQ。這位日本車手統治了昨天第一站的比賽，今天他在預賽中三戰三勝，而在這一輪中，他的隊友Jin Sawada獲得了第二名。Jan Ratheisky依舊表現穩定，僅落後Sawada 0.4秒完賽，獲得第三。兩位Xray車手黃揆笙與Nicholas Koh也僅有0.4秒的差距，分別拿下本輪第四與第五。

Akio Sobue is the top qualifier for the Modified class at the 2nd round of the OneTen Series presented by Infinity at RCI V2 in Shanghai. The Japanese driver, who dominated the opening round of the series yesterday, made it 3 from 3 in qualifying as he once again headed the times, this time ahead of team mate Jin Sawada. Jan Ratheisky ensured the top 3 remained consistent as he ended up less than 4 tenths back. The ongoing battle between Gary Huang and Nicholas Koh continued with the Xray pairing separated by half a second, ending the round 4th and 5th respectively.

為8分鐘的單輪預賽做準備，Infinity車手Sobue在這一輪完全充滿了自己的ORCA電池，同時也減弱了動力設定以減少過多的爆發力。現任TITC冠軍非常高興自己拿下了TQ，他將會在下一輪也是最後一輪預賽中繼續為長時間的決賽做測試以策萬全。

In preparation for the single 8 minute final Infinity driver Sobue fully charged his ORCA battery to increase runtime while lowering the settings on the speedo to reduce the extra punch as a result. Obviously happy with wrapping up the TQ the current TITC Champion will continue to test in the final qualifier to be safe for the longer race.

Jin Sawada每輪都在調整車架來找到一個可以穩定發揮的設定。看起來他在這一輪終於找到了自己的節奏，做出個人最好成績，與隊友的差距不到2秒。

Jin Sawada, still in search of a stable car with changes made to his IF14 each run, seems to have finally found his rhythm as he put in his best run, getting to within 2 seconds of his team mate.

Xray車手Jan Ratheisky獲得本輪第三名，德國人感覺自己的T4更快了，這反映在他的單圈上，不過他這一輪的最快單圈依然比第二輪預賽的最快單圈慢了0.2秒。Jan這一輪的成績比上一輪慢了約2秒，目前他有兩個第二名在手，相比Jin的一個第二與一個第三，以及他更快的完賽成績，德國人有很大可能強勢插入兩位Infinity車手之間，獲得預賽第二。

Xray driver Jan Ratheisky took 3rd for the round, the German feeling his T4 was faster, which reflected in his lap times but which was slower over the run than his fastest time he set in Q2. Some 2 seconds of his quickest time, with two 2nd place finishes compared to Jin’s one 2nd and a 3rd, along with the faster run time, Jan has a very good chance to split the Infinity drivers.

毫無懸念，Ratheisky輕鬆拿下Scorpion Stock組別的TQ。他在這一輪依舊展現出了大師級的水準，其後是Heng、Masaaki Kyoyi、Kenny Yan和Simon Wang。

While never in doubt, Ratheisky also took the overall TQ in the Scorpion Stock class, putting in another master class to take the round from Heng Heng, with Masaaki Kyoyi, Kenny Yan and Simon Wang completing the top 5 for the round.

車架聚焦 Chassis Focus – Motor King

說明 – 來自上海的Yokomo車手王海峰使用一台配備了定制底盤的BD8參賽，這款鋁合金底盤特別切削出了額外的開孔，配合Vigor RC出品的二樓板和薄型前後避震架，讓車架的扭動更多。採用他的RCI V2基礎設定下地，但基於偏低的場地抓地力，王海峰移除了波箱下的1mm墊片，同時將避震角度變得更加傾斜。目前車架在2分鐘後會變得難以操控，所以他考慮換用更軟的彈簧和更窄的後臂碼來改善這個狀況。

Remarks – Shanghai based Yokomo driver Motor King is running a BD8 that features a custom machined aluminium chassis plate that has more cutouts to give the whole car more flex and a top deck from Vigor RC. Starting with his base RCI V2 setup, due to lower than normal traction he has removed the 1mm bulkhead spacer and made his shocks lay down more. Still a little difficult to control especially after the first 2 minutes, he is thinking to change to a narrower rear suspension mount and softer shock spring.
