The First round of the Indonesian Regionals, the Jakarta EP Championship was held at SIS track, Jakarta. The race was attended by a very strong 50 competitors competing in the 10.5 Super Stock class, Stock 13.5 class, 1/12 Pan Car class and FWD classes. Very hot and sunny conditions welcomed all the racers on race day but since it rained the previous night there was lots of dust and sand left on the track which made the track surface very loose compared to Saturday’s practice day. The Superstock qualifying saw Bowie Ginting place his Xray into the TQ spot with 19 laps in 5.09. Rama Tribudiman was next with his Tamiya in 2nd with 19 laps in 5.14 with Xray driver Ronny Suwarto being the last man to take 19 laps in a 5.16. Defending national champion, Heri Susanto was a bit shy of the 19 laps and finished his best run in 18 laps @ 5.00 with Suwardi Suliandy completing the top 5.
In the stock class, Ronald Kasengkang placed his Tamiya into the TQ spot 3 seconds ahead of Rama. Chandra Yosef (TOP) took 3rd while the Associated pairing of Anton Santoso and Ivan Hartono took 4th and 5th consecutively. Nico Gian secured the TQ Spot in the 1/12 class while young hotshot, Muhammad Izzah took an easy qualifying to end up TQ in the FWD Class.
