Last weekend drivers headed to the South coast for round 5 of the BRCA Clubman’s Championship at the Eastbourne Model Car Club. Over the last year, the club has put a lot of work in and extended the track, which has greatly increased it in both size and lap times. The weather was perfect sunshine and it lasted all weekend. This would probe a real test for both drivers and equipment with ever changing track conditions catching a few drivers out. The club had a near full entry for race day and most of those drivers were practicing on Saturday with seven timed runs for all classes in heat order.
