Last weekend saw round 2 of the EssexCarpetClash championship take place. The track was a little challenging in places to get a perfect lap, but was rewarding when you did. After 4 rounds qualifying, Jamie Hall showed his talent by topping the time sheets for all rounds with his Associated. The rest of the field would then place their best times to get as high up the 8 field grid for the 3 legged finals. William Venables managed to secure second on the grid with his Associated ride, while Yasir Mughal had a good consistent qualifying to place third ahead of fellow Yokomo driver Harley Eldridge. The finals would go the same way as qualifying for Hall, never looking back and taking all leg wins in the finals. Mughal would get caught up with a few errors in the finals, where as Eldridge would keep her head and run clean, managing to finish second in two of the finals. Venables would complete the podium in third, where his second place finish in leg 2 would be a key counting score.

Yokomo have presented two new option parts for the YZ-4SF2, including an aluminium rear hub carrier and front stiffener. The rear hub carrier is compatible with the sturdy Φ3mm outer suspension arm pin. Four types of bushes for passing suspension pin are attached and the height can be adjusted in 7 steps by switching the height. Also, it also has the effect of increasing rear traction due to the increase in strength and weight compared to standard resin. The stiffener increases the strength around the steering post and reduces front friction by changing the rigidity. This will be more effective on dirt tracks and has the effect of increasing the stability of steering.
