…a bit of an easier life due to their higher traction. Ilias Arkoudaris took the day’s win, however he was closely followed by Chris Katsigiannis and Akis Lignos. 1/8 Nitro Buggy was a test for drivers and track. The results were a completely satisfying as the cars had a lot of traction, no damages at all and great competition as the track is small and tight, make passes a rear challenge. Aris Bornovas won the test race with young talented Sotiris Christodoulou 2nd and Ilias Arkoudaris 3rd with great fights between them in the whole 30-minute final. Source: Xray [teamxray.com]…

…Josh Cyrul. Touring 17.5 was true test of who could keep the cleanest run.

…4th! For round 4, the Sheffield RC Racing team had worked hard to change the track overnight. The new layout featured a faster more flowing design to further test the racers setup and racing abilities. Qualifying for GT1 was a similar affair to Round 3 with Andy Murray and Adam Mackman charging to the top of the leader board with their Atoms. But the young Owen Smith had found even more pace on the new layout and by the end of qualifying firmly placed his Zen between the Schumacher teammates.
