IFMAR 200mm Worlds Warmup announcement
Having had their previously scheduled World Warmup cancelled due to flooding, the organisers of the 2012 IFMAR 1/10th 200mm World Championships to be held at RC Addict in Bangkok Thailand, have given the final date for the warmup. Set to take place from the 23rd to 29th of January next year, and with the track not going to be resurfaced before the main event, it will give racers the best opportunity to run on the track in similar conditions to those at the actual event which will be held later that year in November.

Meyir Azulay wins Israeli League Rd3
This past weekend saw the 3rd round of the Israeli League for nitro 1/8 scale buggies held at Top-Drive racing club near Tel Aviv. Yaniv Sivan TQ’d the field with his Kyosho MP9 WC, however a problem with his car caused him to lose the lead and a few places. Race day was full of failures to everyone which caused strong drivers to find themselves in the B final. Some say that the B final was more challenging then the A due to a close race between Yaniv Sivan (TQ) and young talented driver Or Levy that did not give up and despite the close battle won the heat. In the A main it was Meyir Azulay that took the win with his Xray ahead of the Mugen pairing of Itai Atedgi and Dan Pric in 2nd and 3rd respectively.
