BRCA Clubmans Rd4 Coastal Ipswich – Report

Round 4 of the BRCA Clubmans took place on the East Coast of England at Coastal Model Car Racing Club. This is the smallest track on the calendar which many liken to Monaco due to the tight confinements of the track and layout. The club made a huge effort in the weeks before the meeting and the track looked fantastic in the Ipswich sunshine. Four qualifying rounds for all classes and Craig Nutting eventually took TQ in the Frontie Class, but local driver and race director George Fairweather kept him honest all day long taking the round two win looking to be the only challenger, so it was anyone’s guess what the A Final outcome would be.
