BRCA LMP Nationals Rd4 – Report

Last weekend saw the running of round four of the BRCA LMP12 nationals. The meeting took place at a new venue for the series, Dorset Model Car Club. The club is based on the south coast of England in the harbour town of Poole. The track laid out was a beautifully flat and technical track and used the GT style carpet. Over the past years the ETS style carpet has become common in Britain, but the GT carpet is still a real favourite with racers.
