Chris Grainger joins Team Associated

Grainger Associated

Team Associated and CML Distribution have announced the signing of British Touring car ace Chris Grainger. The former Schumacher driver has an exceptional CV including 10 times BRCA National Championships and he is also a multiple European, Worlds, TITC and ETS finalist along with winning many other race victories. A solid and consistent contender in any race he attends, his attention to detail is exceptional and some would say he is almost unstoppable in the UK and his record speaks for itself. He brings with him a wealth of experience and will be the corner stone of a fun, new and exciting team heading into the 2015 season. Chris had this to say:

I’m very excited to be joining Team Associated for the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Some of my fondest memories from the early days of Touring Cars were racing a TC3 and working with Mike Reedy at the track. I’m looking forward to being part of that team again and working with them throughout the races ahead. I’d like to thank everyone at Team Associated and CML Distribution who have made this possible. Bring on 2015!

Elliott Harper wins on Schumacher debut

New Schumacher signing Elliott Harper has kicked off his 2015 campaign with a great result at last weekend’s popular Rug Racers event in the UK. Elliott was competing in the 13.5 boosted class and right from the off, his Mi5evo was dialled in as he set the fastest time TQ’ing 3 out of the 4 qualifying rounds. He then completed his impressive performance by winning the A final. Elliott had the following comments after the race finished:

I’m really happy to have started on such a positive note with Schumacher after only having run the Mi5evo a few times previous to this race. I ran the car in virtually box-standard trim, and it performed flawlessly all day. I had great traction and corner speed, even through the changing track conditions round-to-round. I’m looking forward to the upcoming carpet races even more now!
