McGee and Waters win Masters Rd4

To kick the New Year off in style, last weekend saw Round 4 of the brilliant Worksop Series run, once again attracting a huge entry with 161 drivers racing making it a great event. The track was once again nice and flowing and was well received by drivers. In the 2wd class it would Danny McGee driving the Schumacher that took the victory ahead of the Associated pairing of Richard Lowe and Neil Cragg. In 4wd Nathan Waters would go on to win with his Schumacher team mate Simon Moss in 2nd with Neil Cragg once again in 3rd. With a different winner in each class again at this round, its all still to play for in both Championships.

Elliott Harper wins on Schumacher debut

New Schumacher signing Elliott Harper has kicked off his 2015 campaign with a great result at last weekend’s popular Rug Racers event in the UK. Elliott was competing in the 13.5 boosted class and right from the off, his Mi5evo was dialled in as he set the fastest time TQ’ing 3 out of the 4 qualifying rounds. He then completed his impressive performance by winning the A final. Elliott had the following comments after the race finished:

I’m really happy to have started on such a positive note with Schumacher after only having run the Mi5evo a few times previous to this race. I ran the car in virtually box-standard trim, and it performed flawlessly all day. I had great traction and corner speed, even through the changing track conditions round-to-round. I’m looking forward to the upcoming carpet races even more now!
