In the Nitro Buggy main Austin would make a couple of mistakes but he would work his way back up to the 1st spot to take the win.

Coming back from P8 Austin would end the second main on the runner-up spot which was enough for him to take the overall win and with it his third title of the weekend.

Jemison & Orlowski win at oOple Invernational 17

This past weekend was the annual event of the oOple Invernational at the brilliant Robin Hood Raceway venue. A fantastic entry of 191 competitors across the various classes was superb to see. The format for the event was four rounds of qualifying by round by round, with the best two to count. Then followed by three leg finals for everyone. In 2WD it was very close throughout qualifying as the three star drivers were Michal Orlowski, Ben Jemison and Craig Collinson. Each of these three drivers TQ’d a round each, so it was all down to the 4th and final round of qualifying. Ben Jemison dominated this round so therfore would line up on pole position for the A-finals. Ultimately it was TQ holder Ben Jemison (Schumacher) who laid down a dominant performance in the triple A-mains to take the title from Team C’s Craig Collinson in 2nd and Schumacher’s Michal Orlowski 3rd.

BRCA Touring Car Series Rd4 – Report

A full entry of 110 drivers headed to the fast Halifax track in the north of the UK for round 4 of the BRCA Touring Car Series. Prior to the meeting there were concerns over the Sorex control tyre so the BRCA allowed an extra set of tyres for the Modified drivers. Despite the 2017 title already being decided in favour of Xray’s Olly Jefferies, the class was still very keenly contested. At round 4 Jefferies once again took TQ ahead of Team Associated’s Chris Granger and the Schumacher of Elliott Harper, and Jefferies also went on to take both legs of the Modified A-final ahead of Harper and Zak Smith (Team Associated). In winning the meeting Jefferies maintains his 100 percent unbeaten record in the UK this year.

Luke Sinanian wins at Queensland State Titles

The recent Queensland State IC Track Titles were held on the newly resurfaced track of England Park Raceway. In the 200mm Pro Touring class Jeff Hamon and Ricky Kradlofer set the pace with a consistent Luke Sinanian coming in 3rd after the qualifiers. The latter got a great start from the 3rd position on the grid holding the position behind Rick Kradolfer and Jeff Hamon. After the first pit stop, there were no changes in position and as the race went on Luke was still in 3rd holding off Tim Moylan. At the 15 minute mark tragedy struck for front runner Jeff Hamon with a gearbox issue putting him out of the race. This would move his team mate Ricky Kradolfer to the front and Luke would move into 2nd not far behind. Ricky was lapping fast whilst Luke was trying to stay consistent and save tyres. On the 79th lap, Ricky suffered some mechanical problems having to pull into pits two times. This promoted Luke into the lead and he was able to cruise to the win to take the 2017 Queensland Pro Touring State Title.

Karri Salmela doubles at Finnish EP Buggy Nats Rd4

Round 4 of the Finnish 1/10th Electric Buggy Nationals was held in Vantaa in sunny weather conditions. As the track wasn’t watered, the grip changed a lot during the day with the mornings offering high grip whereas the track got slipper over the day. This caught out Xray’s Joel Valander a bit as he was able to secure a round TQ in 2WD but he struggled with his driving over the day so it was Team Associated’s Karri Salmela who brought home the TQ and win with Joel in 2nd. Konsta Saarinen (Xray) would round out the top 3 result.
