The IF18/ASM Nuclear/Eirerc driver claimed the overall title following 2 victories and a second place, all three round being hosted by the ORCA Club at Ireland’s only 1:8 Onroad track in St Annes Park on the outskirts of the capital city of Dublin. It was a tough battle between Lougheed and Austin Elliot (Shepherd Velox v8.2/Ielasi Tuned) all year with both setting blistering times and both dominating every round. In the end it all boiled down to the last race as each driver came into the event with one win a piece. With Elliot fresh back from the European Championship, and all to play for going into the last round, it was a tough ask for Lougheed but he was able to TQ and set the fastest lap of the year to clinch the 1:8 National title.

JConcepts Siren LP & Pin Swag 2.2″ tyres

JConcepts has introduced two new tyres for carpet and astroturf 1:10 Offroad, the Siren rear tyre and the front Pin Swag 2WD tyre. The Siren, shares styling cues from its successful racing sibling, the Nessi. Racing on artificial surfaces require a lot of stability and forward-bite and the JConcepts design team went to work to substantially improve performance for deep nested turf or carpet surfaces. The new tyre brings a new larger and taller sized 3D blended pin-size, pin-separation, and a lightweight and incredibly low-profile carcass. The Pin Swag combines the outer lugs of a JConcepts Swagger front tire with the dense arrangement of specialty pins. Now optimised as a 2WD front tyre, the pins themselves are round and crisp to the top where they climax to a point. Near the sidewall, the Swag enters with a smooth transition and drops off to a ledge giving steering control.
