Sam had the following to say about winning the title:
âśI am honoured and very happy to be the 2013 Champion! It is a somewhat unusual result given the speed of my peers, the resurfacing of the track and the low attendance at some races. That said, you donâ™t need a reason to be the winner, so I will take this title with a big smile and focus on 2014! Thanks to XRAY for an excellent car for several years in a row and to ORCAN/MH tuning for selling pro spec/level engines to private racers around the world!âť

Singapore National Series 8 Race on 22 Dec 2013
The Singapore RCMC track reopened on 18 Dec 13 after being close for resurfacing for several months. There were only a few days for drivers to get familiar with the new track surface and changes. The final series race of the year was held on 22 Dec 2013 which turned out to be a perfect, rain free day.

2014 looks to be a busy year with the 1/10th WC again in Asia and a full, year-long racing schedule starting in January for the Singapore club.
