1st Major Event
Just in case some people have not seen this.
The first BRCA UK Championship and National series was held at the popular Stotfold club. A full Astroturf track with many jumps and humps allowing the club to run track layouts that some have never been raced on and they did a grand job this weekend.
The 2012 season started with every team being represented by their respective best drivers in attendance.
Statistically consisting of 120 drivers which 115 were F1 and F2 drivers this UK series is arguably the strongest ever.
This was the meeting the DB1 was making its debut at a major event!
The conversion is some 2-3 weeks old and some thought it would be too early for the car to perform at such a high level so so soon!
1st National – Result
Kevin Lee qualified 3rd driving his Kyosho DB1 and finished 2nd in all 3 legs of the main A final to put himself and the car on the podium.
Congratulation to Kevin Lee

Lee Martin was in fine form at the weekend when he dominated the 2wd event with his Tamiya Vega car.  Needless to say Lee was running weight all in the right places and made the win of the event look real easy against some of the best drivers in the world.

2WD  Another clean sweep for RudeBits, 1st, 2nd and 3rd
Darren Bloomfield took pole position with his TLR 22. In the finals, only Schumacher’s and RudeBits driver Tom Cockerill driving the new Cougar SV2 was able to push Darren, but to no avail. Darren took all three legs to take the 2WD title with Tom Cockerill in second and Tom Yardy finishing off the podium in third with his Associated/Centro C4.1.

4WD  Yet another clean sweep for RudeBits, 1st, 2nd and 3rd
Here we saw a slightly different track layout. This time is was Tom Cockerill who fared best in qualifying to narrowly take pole position with his Schumacher CAT SX3. The three A finals had it all with a few controversial moves in the first two legs and even some penalties really mixing things up. It came down to a fight between Kevin Lee, Ellis Stafford and Tom Yardy in the final leg and it was a last corner dive from Kevin that meant he took the title with his Kyosho Lazer FS2 by a measly two hundredths of a second from the X-Factory X-7 prototype of Ellis Stafford in second with Tom Yardy third with his Associated B44.1.
