It was a great time at the Werks Racing Championship in South Korea. Since our schedule was so tough, we didn't have much time to prepare for the race this time. Some XRAY drivers arrived at the track on Saturday and others arrived at the track on Sunday without preparation. The weather didn't look that good so we focused on engine setup over car setup. Even without a lot of preparation time and/or practice, it was Team XRAY driver Shin Choong Yeul that did great and claimed the TQ. Team driver Ryan Lee was also very fast, but an unlucky engine flameout took away his chance of reaching the A-main this time.

1. Shin Choong Yeul XRAY XB8EC
2. Ryu Hyung Kyu

During the Final race (60min), Shin showcased his XB8EC with astonishing skill and speed, dominating whole race until his engine started flaming out (3x) eventually dropping him to last place. However, this was only the beginning of Shin's real racing show time. Shin showcased the XB8EC with very powerful and reliable racing and no-one could not catch him. Shin finally finished in 3rd place... much to the amazement and pleasure of everyone.
