Much More have released 2 versions of their new odorless tyre conditioner called Blue Sap and Red Sap that has been specifically designed to provide the best grip for rubber tires on carpet tracks. The blue sap provides more grip than the red sap and both can be applied using the supplied brush, just apply a few minutes before the race and wipe off the excess.

Olly Jeffries, who was forced to compete in 19T class after insufficient numbers in Modified, has taken TQ and won round 5 of the Carpet Thrashnals. Driving his Hot Bodies Cyclone, Olly struggled to get a balance in his car the whole event yet still managed to do well despite what turned out to be problems with his tyres.
I struggled with my set up for most of the day and my car never felt balanced, Russ looked very quick and put me under a lot of pressure, I had to adapt my driving style a little making sure I made no mistakes and hoping that others around me would make errors, this was the case and I was able to take FTD comfortably.
