EmbJack Embling teams up with Reds RacinglingReds

Reds Racing welcome Jack Embling to the team for the 2015/16 season. At 17 years young, Jack has already established himself as one of the fastest racers in Europe, and classified 10th at the Italian Job Race this past weekend. Jack has to say the following about the deal:

I have been really impressed with the initial running of the Reds engines. They have a really smooth feeling through out the power range while still giving a perfect speed on the top end to make any difficult jumps or long straights. The engines have also proven to be 100 percent reliable so far and I’m really looking forward to a successful 2015 season powered by Reds Racing.

BRCA GT & F1 Nationals Rd1 – Report

South Yorkshire Raceway saw the inaugural national meeting open the books on this never before seen class combination – the grand prix of the GTs and F1s. After the infamous GT12 class lost its national status in early 2014, when it ceased to be the 1/12 support class, GT12 really needed its own section to return to its former glory and flourish as a driver’s class. With a limited 30 driver grid seen at the 2013/14 supporting nationals and grey areas of rules being pushed further and further every round, the class that was so reputable previously, was struggling to keep afloat. The Clubman’s series was developed to back the class this year and with initially mild interest, it wasn’t looking good. However once the National series had been finalised, class popularity sky rocketed, with the final round of the Clubman’s series reaching an all time record of just under 90 participants.

WCICS Rd4 – Report

The Western Canadian Indoor Championship Series visited the unseasonably warm city of Airdrie, Alberta, for their normally appropriately named Annual Snowpocalypse, round 4 of the WCICS series. Airdrie hosted a great event, with the highlight of the weekend, and a particular strength of the Karz club, the kids only Mini class. Seven other WCICS classes were hotly contested, and as the midway point before the Christmas break, the season class championships are revealing some strong favourites. In the Touring Car Modified class Team Associated’s Peter Tozser came from 4th on the grid to top of the podium, Serpent’s Steve Soon cleanly drove to 2nd, and dominant TQ and fast lap holder Wayne Mah unfortunately ended up 3rd after his Awesomatix took some contact.
