2009 Tamiya World Championship

My favorite racing event is the yearly Tamiya cup series wherein a regular racer can have a chance to become a world champion in popular categories such as M Chassis (mini), touring car (gt) and buggy.

You can find lots of pictures of the 2009 Tamiya World Championship and the new Tamiya r/c models at: http://www.rct.jp/contents/tamgp/world2009/

Here are some photos to summarize the results. Photo credit: www.rct.jp. Visit their website, full of good information.

Group picture of the GT, Mini and Buggy class racers from all over the world. Asia was primarily represented by Bangkok in Mini and Buggy.

My favorite class is the Tamiya M-Chassis. Looks like the winner this year is using a long wheelbase configuration.

The Japanese drivers are really fast in the mini class.

Result of the GT class. Much faster than the mini's.
