The TCS (Tamiya Championship Series) for 2016 came to a close a couple weeks ago with the winners getting a all-expense paid trip to Japan later this year. How cool is that?
We got this release about the event with a slew of pix, so here’s the report straight from the Tamiya:
The Tamiya Championship Series is a radio controlled car racing competition that is organized by Tamiya America, Inc. with the regional support of participating hobby retailers throughout the USA. Rules and Regulations have been developed to promote fair competition with the exclusive use of Tamiya branded R/C car and accessory products.
The 2016 TCS Finals concluded at Tamiya America’s racing facility in Aliso Viejo, California after NINE regional races across the country! The event spanned two days from August 20-21. This year’s final celebrates 22 years of on-road Tamiya R/C car racing. There are eight new class champions, four of which will be representing the USA at the Tamiya World Championships in November; an event during the Tamiya Fair in Shizuoka-City, Japan. The four class-champions that will be moving on to the Tamiya World Championships are: Timmy Valles (GT-1), Bill Jeric (Formula One), Tobey Zhang (GT-2) and Jason Smith (M-Chassis). The champions in the additional classes are: Alex Tolmasoff (GT-3), Tsuyoshi Niizuma (GT Novice Spec), Orlando Sherman (FWD) and Tyree Phillips (GT Pro Spec/Porsche Cup). Congratulations to all the winners. Good luck in Japan!
