Current IFMAR World Champion Atsushi Hara has won the rain shortened Japanese Nationals for a 3rd time in a row today in Sagamiko PF. The Hot Bodies driver was able to take the TQ spot in qualifying on Saturday but on Sunday the day started wet and continued to get worse with the race being cancelled following the 1/64th final. The organisers declared the winners based on the qualifying positions and so it was Hara that took the title, ahead of Kyosho driver Kazuya Tanaka in 2nd and Mugen driver Ahn Yuichi in 3rd.

Christer Andersson has completed the perfect event, having won this weekend’s Rebellion Race in Finland from pole position. The Team Associated driver had to wait till the 3rd and final leg to seal the win having taken victory in the first leg, but using old tires in Leg 2 he couldn’t hold off Marc Rheinard who went on to take the leg win, to set up a title fight in the final leg. The first leg saw Alexander Hagberg roll it after 2 minutes but he would recover to 3rd, while Marc could catch Christer but made a mistake close to the end and had to settle for 2nd. In leg 2 with Christer on old tires, he had to settle for 2nd while Marc would win after passing Hagberg for 2nd following a small mistake from the Xray driver. The Swede would recover to take 3rd. In the final deciding leg, Andersson was back on fresh Xenon rubber and could pull away to win easily, while both Marc and Alex both made a mistake, the former having to park up, giving Viktor Wilck the 2nd spot ahead of Teemu Leino. Overall it was Christer taking his first international win, just days after his 18th birthday, with World Champion Marc Rheinard taking 2nd and Alexander Hagberg in 3rd spot. Sakke Ahoniemi took the win in the B-main.
