BRCA Electric Touring Nationals Rd2 – Report

Stafford in the heart of the UK was the venue for round two of the BRCA Touring Car series. Heading the Modified challenge was an on-form Olly Jefferies who had enjoyed a dominating win at round one while his domestic challengers in the form of Elliott Harper and Chris Grainger struggled and both these drivers needed a good round two result to get their 2018 challenge back on track. Zak Finlay was also looking to make it two out of two after a win at Cotswolds and he led away the drivers in the 13.5 Boosted Stock class. Blinky 13.5 looked pretty open and now on a track that wasn’t so reliant on power this class looked like it was going to be a close affair with Colin Jackson, Billy Fletcher and pole man from Cotswolds Markus Askell all in the mix.

Danish 1/10th Off-road Nationals Rd1 – Report

The opening round of the Danish 1/10th Electric Off-road Nationals was held in Kolding recently. The hosting club had an arrangement with a motorsports festival to build a temporary track on the site, ensuring massive impact to the thousands of spectators. It made for a special atmosphere, although in all honesty the electric-powered cars had a hard time competing with the attention the real cars drew and the noise and dust from the full-size vehicles was a bit distracting at times. The purpose-built track offered loads of grip, however it was also a bit bumpy so everyone was after the best in terms of setup and tyres.
