Race Report by Koz:

The first ever XRS in Japan took place in Nagoya on the 1st July! The event had a quite high number of entries which was very positive considering it was the first XRS in our country!

The event gave a chance to all XRAY drivers to be able to work with Toshihiko Hara who started helping them from Friday until Sunday! As the Japanese Nationals of Touring Sport class will be also held at this track (same layout too) in next month (end of August) it was great to have here also Atsushi Hara who helped many guys with setting!

Each class had two ceremonies – one overall and one for XRAY drivers!

In F1 class, it was Tanii with his XRAY X1 who dominated qualifications and finals and took the overall win!
