Simon Moss wins on Schumacher Cougar SV debut

Schumacher are reporting that the Cougar SV made its much anticipated race debut this weekend at the BRCA British Open, which has replaced the Indoor Nationals formally run during the winter season. Against a strong entry of most of the UK’s top electric off road drivers the race could not have gone better for the Schumacher team. The result was a convincing victory in the 2WD class, Simon Moss won all 5 of his races in the Reedy style event to score a maximum perfect score. Simon also recorded the fastest 5 minute run by a huge margin of 5 seconds and fastest single lap with his Speed Passion powered car.

The Cougar SV was clearly the quickest car on all parts of the multi surface Worksop track which contained a challenging mix of high grip carpet and slippery floor sections. With its mid motor, centrally weighted lipo layout and reverse direction transmission it’s looked awesomely stable on the Worksop jumps, which were challenging for some of the best UK drivers. Overall 3 Cougar SV’s were running at the event with Tom Cockerill also getting up there in 10th with Grant Williams 13th only having received the cars on the day of the race!! The following day Simon completed the double by taking his CAT SX to victory in the 4WD class.
