Another Full Race weekend for Team RCPB

Some of the RCPB 1/10^th team were representing at the 1/10^th Nationals this weekend at Telford Model Car Club. We had Schumacher drivers, Mark Fletcher and Felix De Hamel and Xray drivers Dom Nunn, Jamie Hall and Tommy Hall doing the team proud.

Felix was the top of the pile after 2wd qualifying on Saturday, he stood 32^nd, Dom 45^th and Mark  47^th, Jamie 54^th and Tommy 58^th with some very impressive driving by all in a field of over 110 drivers. Tommy and Jamie were in the F final and both drove extremely well coming in 4^th and 5^th respectively. In the E final was Mark and Dom. Dom was on fire and finished 3^rd, Mark came home 9^th. Felix was in the D final and starting from 2^nd, he had a good start and continued his great run of form to come home a brilliant 7^th.

In 4wd on Sunday, Dom was well and truly in his element, he put in some messily impressive times with a huge 10^th in the last round, after qualifying he was 16^th. Felix was 43^rd and Mark 51^st just ahead of Tommy in 54^th and Jamie in 59^th. Another awesome performance by the team in qualifying! Dom's Car pictured below ready to go!

Jamie. Tommy and Fletch were in the F final, Mark started on pole and went on to win by about half a lap, Jamie finished 5^th and Tommy 9^th. Well done guys, a great final! Felix was in the E final and starting 3^rd, he went on to gain a place from the start and finished 2^nd. Dom was in the B final, and finished the TOP F3 driver of the day in 7^th. A great drive for all especially Dom. Massive well done young man.

On Saturday it was Ledbury Club Series and Chris Lovell, Ben Billing and Si Davies were representing us in 1/8^th Nitro. Si Davies and his Radiosistemi qualified in a very good 12^th with Chris Lovell and his Alpha Dragon powered Mugen up in 6^th and the Nova/Sworkz combo of Ben in a perfect 1^st, taking the TQ by just 0.5s.

Si finished 8^th in the B final after a small problem. Ben and Chris were in the A and what a race they both had. Bens race was sublime and he took the win by over 15s. Chris starting 6^th, and only the 2^nd time out with his MBX7R nitro he showed his fantastic pace and race ability by storming through the field to take 3^rd and his first A final Podium in Nitro. Well done guys – a double podium for the team!

Down at Pembrey Circuit in south Wales on Sunday we had a few of the team at the EBuggy/Truggy Nationals. Gary Gregory and his Radiosistemi  E-buggy and Chris Lovell with his Mugen MBX7R Eco were representing the team. Chris and Gary both did well in quail and got themselves into the B final. Gary had a problem early on and had to retire but Chris for the second time in a weekend was heading for the A final, He took the win from 4^th on the grid with a great drive. He then continued his run of great form by going from 11^th to 8^th in a very competitive A final. So another good race day for the team!

At Herts Kong McKenzie took his Mugen out for a spin, He qualified well getting in the B final, and a very good final took the win and bump into the A. He had a problem in the A but still had a fantastic day overall.

Well done to all the guys and gals from the team who raced the previous few weekends , and we hope the great racing continues for the team!
