Wins for Kaerup & Coelho at British Offroad Grand Prix

Team Associated’s Marcus Kaerup and Xray’s Bruno Coelho took the wins at this year’s BRCA British Offroad Grand Prix in Milton Keynes.  The annual 1:10 carpet track event which takes place in the Centre:MK shopping centre and attracts a strong international field saw last year’s double winner Michal Orlowski head the entry.  The Schumacher driver would get his weekend off to a good start securing the 2WD TQ.  Behind European Champion Kaerup secured second with Coelho completing the Top 3 after the 5 rounds of qualifying.  In the opening final, Schumacher driver Ben Smith capitalised on errors from the leaders to secure the win ahead of Coelho.  In A2 and A3, Kaerup took charge winning both encounter as Orlowski grip rolled out of the lead in both and that gave the Dane the overall win with Orlowski and Smith completing the podium.  In 4WD,  Coelho secured the TQ with 3 TQ runs compared to Orlowski’s two while Kaerup made up the Top 3.  Leading the field in A1, a moment on the track’s big table top for Coelho allowed Orlowski through for the win but the former World Champion made amends in A2 & 3 staying at the front for the overall win.  Once again it was the runner-up spot for Orlowski with team-mate Daniel Kobbevik completing the podium.
