Elliott Boots wins at KMRC championship Rd1

Last weekend saw the first round of the KMRC championship and while the Kent Club was awarded a round of the BRCA National Championships this year the race attracted a lot of drivers in preparation for the National later in July. The qualifying rounds 2 and 3 went to Kyosho’s Elliott Boots who was the only driver to be able to get into the 10 laps. The final was to be over 20 minutes and would be a good race as the track was very tight and small. Elliott made a good start and was able to get away but being the nature of the track it made for very close racing so he was swapping the lead with Lee Martin and Darren Bloomfield, but after the last fuel stop Elliott was able to make the break and get a good lead from Lee Martin and then was able to settle down to come home in first place.

Peter Harder wins Danish nationals Rd1

The first round of the Danish nitro off-road nationals took place on a purpose-built track in an indoor horse training arena. The qualifying saw Oliver Fisher being the dominant driver so he quite easily took TQ but Peter Harder was in pursuit and was able to take the lead in the main final only on the second lap. Peter then started to build quite gap on the second place driver and he was close to lapping Oilver halfway through the final. But then Peter started to struggle due to an erratic behaving car allowing Oliver to close up. With around 5 minutes to go Oliver was on Peter’s tail and then things got even worse for the Xray driver as a tyre started to come off but at the end Harder was able to maintain a 0.8s gap handing him the win in front of Oliver Fisher and Jan D. Hansen.
