Chen makes stellar comeback; Tan shows dominance; Jiahao takes top Rookie

ROK Cup Singapore Round 2 showcased keenly contested action in all classes - from Rookie to Expert.

In Rookie class, Wang Jiahao showed incredible consistency in all six free practice sessions and took pole in qualifying, which he turned into a commanding race victory. From P11, Caleb Tan showed brilliant overtaking to secure P2, with momentum coming into Round 2. Enzo NG rounded out the podium at P3.

Both Riley Jackson and Round 1 winner Satt Kotak were the pace setters in practice and qualifying in the Mini ROK class. But a problem hindered Satt to finish in P6. Jackson, who had a sluggish opening to the weekend, closed the gap progressively and took the win. P2 and P3 were claimed by Kenji Lim and Hunter Carlock.

The GP Junior class experienced a comeback tale by Danish Chen. He bounced back from a P8 in FP1 with good performances in practice. Even though he failed to deliver in qualifying, he dominated the heat, pre-final, and final to win the race. Round 1 winner Conrad Garow claimed second place, with Sujana Dandu completing the podium.

Dillan Tan continued to be the one to beat in the GP Senior class. He made a steady beginning as ever, then developed pace and rhythm, and though not setting the pace in qualifying, stormed to another win - this time with a commanding margin six seconds in front. Lewis Xie moved from his Round 1's P3 to P2, with Rafael Vaessen grabbing third.

The Expert/Expert Plus class delivered edge-of-the-seat action. Ian Whillock dominated in all his sessions and turned that into a victory, although it was not a pressure-free win. Peter Chua gave it his all and crossed the line just two seconds back in P2. William Xiao had a rollercoaster of a practice then discovered his pace in qualifying and produced good heat and final performances to score P3.
