Mark Green wins BRCA 200mm Rd4

The fourth round of the BRCA 200mm National Championships was run this weekend by the Cotswold Model car club on their track in Gloucestershire. Qualifying saw top Team Magic man, and round 3 winner, Darren Johnson take the top qualifying spot ahead of Serpent ace Mark Green in 2nd. At the start of the Main final Mark was knocked off the track and bumped to the back of the field as Darren pushed away at the front followed by a closing Robin Hammet driving his Xray NT1, who eventually took the lead only to drop back at the mid point of the race. All this time, the pairing of Mark Green and NT1 racer Ben Cosgrove were closing in to Johnson and eventually took over at the front when Darren had a flame out during his pitstop, but the Team Magic race fought back to take 2nd where he finished behind winner Mark Green with Ben Cosgrove behind in 3rd.
