Ferrari vs. Xray NT1

Xray have an interesting story for us today – Many people know the classical story of David and Goliath. This classical confrontation will soon be reborn with different players on the stage; the brand new XRAY NT1 playing the role of David will come face-to-face with Goliath… a full-size Ferrari sports car! European TV – the Austrian channel ORF – has prepared a special duel… an all-out speed contest between a full-sized Ferrari and the brand new Xray NT1. Both high-tech, powerful cars will compete at a 100m speed track to see if David will once again triumph over Goliath. History may again be in the making… who will win? My money is on the NT1, if its only 100m, but we’ll find out later for sure when the showdown is broadcast this Saturday.

Hazlewood wins Rd2 BRCA Rally X Nats

Hazlewood wins Rd2 of BRCA Nats

Xray have a report on their site from the second round of the BRCA nationals for 1/8th off road, held last weekend at the EMORC astroturf track, which due to the tracks high grip nature, all cars present adopted a very stiff setup to prevent the car grip rolling. Qualifying was headed by Associated RC8 racer and round 1 winner Neil Cragg who qualified ahead of Team Magic driver David Crompton with Hobao racer Graham Alsop in 3rd. In the race it looked as though Cragg had it in the bag as he began to pull away from the battle behind him between Cromption, Alsop and Xray driver Hazlewood, but steering problems started to cause Cragg to slip up which dropped him down the order and left the lead fall to the chasing pack. The final was decided by pit stops with Crompton stopping later than Hazlewood, the Xray driver could snatch the lead on the final stop and win by a few seconds ahead of Crompton with Alsop in 3rd.
