Once again its Mirage Racing with race reports from their team drivers regarding the recently run 2nd round of the 1/12th Nationals. 12th scale seems to be growing in popularity again and this indoor event saw a full entry.
Andy and Mick were out front, both setting lap times that predicted quicker runs than the previous FTD until disaster struck for Andy – he suffered a chunked tyre following an accident late on in the race. Mick also had to pull out with electrical problems, making it a double blow!

The Mirage Racing website has race reports posted from the Bedworth round of the TORC series from team racers Dom Carter and Elliot Harper. In finishing 4th on the day, Elliot managed to wrap up the TORC F2 title with his Orion powered HB Cyclone.
Slowly the pace paid off as I picked off the back markers one by one, eventually finishing in a respectable 4th place and feeling my Cyclone had really performed when I needed it and achieved my personal best lap of 15.49secs. Overall I finished 4th on the day

One of our readers alerted us to the forum thread on rctech.net that shows that some confusion seems to have surrounded the hosting of the 2007 1/8th scale IFMAR World Championships. Originally allocated to Argentina, a member of the South African event hosting committee posted on the forum back in September telling people that the TRAP facility in South Africa had been granted the event after original hosts Argentina had fallen through.
As both countries fall under FAMAR (South America, Africa) they claimed that they had been given verbal confirmation of the hosting change and even with no written confirmation from IFMAR they went ahead promoting the event and placed notification on their website. This notification was retracted last week and an statement issued after the situation was cleared up by IFMAR and it was reconfirmed that Argentina, as normal, would host the 2007 blue ribboned event.
You can read the forum thread here, and check out the very nice TRAP facility here.
Thanks to _cyclops_ for the heads up.
