Andy Murray wins at BRCA Formula 1 Nats Rd4

The fourth round of the BRCA Formula 1 Indoor Nationals was held at the CARS club in Chesterfield this past weekend.

A1 was a pretty unspectacular race up front with the top 3 holding their position, and also in A2 it was Andy with the win while Ben Cosgrove and Michael Lee (Xray) swapped places after a little error of Ben who was chasing down Andy. Ultimately Ben was able to hold onto the runner-up spot overall from Michael in 3rd overall.
