Last weekend the Nordic Championships took place at Hvervenbukta, Oslo. The very high bite and bumpy Astroturf track had a lot of elevation changes. Although some of the usual talented drivers were missing from Sweden, Finland, and Denmark, the competition did not disappoint. By the end of Friday’s practice, Team Associated’s Joakim Niclassen was comfortable with his buggies, and was confident going into the weekend. Once qualifying started, both the driver and his cars were working perfectly and TQ was soon followed by the win.

Team Associated have announced the release of Carson Wernimont. Newly signed by Team Associated for the 2015 season, Wernimont immediately put in consistent A-Main performances in both electric and nitro off-road while racing his new Team Associated vehicles. As the 2015 racing season unfolded, it became obvious that the relationship was not in alignment with the original goals, and a decision was made to terminate Carson’s contract instead of fostering an unhealthy relationship through the agreed upon contract term. Everyone at Team Associated wishes Carson the best of luck in his future endeavours.
