Grainger & Smith take victory at BRCA TC Nats Rd1

Chris Grainger got his defence of the UK touring car title off to a great start with a win at round one of the BRCA series, Grainger’s Schumacher Mi4 was the class of the field taking FTD ahead of the Tamiya of Elliott Harper. Two straight wins in legs one and two gave Chris the win, Andy Moore qualified third with the new Cyclone but had miserable finals and was left well down the order. Harper was second and making it three different manufacturers in the top three was Johnny Aird who was rewarded for a great weekends driving with third overall for Xray.

Pro Stock saw a new national winner in the form of current BRCA Pro Stock junior champion Zak Smith. The TC5 driver was the quickest in the first two rounds of qualifying, but was then out paced by his team mate Chris Slater who went on to take pole position with another TC5. Splitting the two Associated drivers was Andy Murray. The three pro stock finals were excellent races and the result went down to the last leg which was won by Smith, second place overall went to the Chris Slater with Schumacher’s Lee Price taking the last spot on the podium. The next round is at the fabulous Cotswold track in four weeks time.
