…the main. Round 1 TQ went to an up and coming youngster Lazaro Alonzo Jr. Only been driving EP touring for a few months coming from Nitro racing, he was on his A game for pace this weekend.

Leading the modified drivers in qualifying was Zak Smith and he would take TQ ahead of Kyle Branson who was enjoying a good end to his national campaign taking victory at the last round at Cotswolds. Harley Eldridge lined up third after a very mixed qualifying…

The 1/10 IC Austrian National Championship concluded last weekend at the MAC Amstetten circuit. This was the fourth event of the season, with each round so far producing a different winner. Simon Ciudan won Rd1 at MAC Mistelbach, Stefan Strasser took Rd2 at SFMAV, and Christoph Rohrmoser came home first in Rd3 at RC Parndorf, meaning the championship was wide open. Rohrmoser secured pole position for the 45-minute final, as the three previous winners took the top three places on the grid. It then turned into a lights-to-flag victory for Rohrmoser, as his MAV-powered Xray ran up front for the…

Round 5 of the BRCA Clubmans saw the racers return to one of the real favourites on the calendar, Stafford RCMCC. A huge amount of work has been done to improve the facilities, including a brand-new rostrum with a roof, hopefully to keep the sun off of us. Disabled access is also now an option with a stair lift. The usual great comfort food was on site all weekend and they even sold fresh doughnut’s, how popular were these. Onto the racing and going into this round we were past the half way point of the Championship with top three…
