Darren Johnson wins BRCA 200mm Rd3

The third round of the British 1/10th 200mm Nationals took place last weekend at the fast flowing Halifax track and while Saturday saw only wet weather practise, for Sunday it was dry with the grip soming up, but only on the racing line. Spanish EFRA GP winner Darren Johnson took TQ running the new Team Magic G4+, just ahead of Serpent racer Mark Green with Chris Slater in 3rd. At the start of the main final everyone got away clean but Green had to pit early for an engine adjustment which left Darren leading closely followed by Mark Gilliland. Unfortunately Mark Gilliland had problems at his first fuel stop, so that put him down the order. Whilst the others had their troubles, Darren had a clean race which gave the Team Magic G4+ a debut win at the BRCA Nats, closely followed by Mark Green with young and impressive Kyle Branson in 3rd.
