This weekend saw the Popular Nitro X Cross Winter series at the Ledbury Astro Track. Although there was persistent rain all week, Nathan Powney and the crew did a fantastic job of getting the track in a race-able condition and even entertained the campers with fireworks on the Saturday evening. The Day started with a moments silence for remembrance Sunday – a nice touch and ended with a Bang! (Quite Literally.) Once again the RCPB Team were out in force, Milan Dragojlovic was unstoppable and with his MP9/Nova Rossi/Werks fuel combo took every round of qualifying and the TQ for...

Team RCPB hit Ledbury this weekend for the first round of the Ledbury Winter series. A great turn out of over 50 drivers and nearly a full RCPB 1/8th Nitro Turn out, with 10 RCPB team members in attendance. The Track had some changes, with a new jump section and conditions changing through the day meant it started wet/foggy/cold, then got dry and then cold and foggy/dewy for the finals. This meant tyre choice was hard and changing conditions kept the whole field on its toes. From Left to Right – Milan Dragojlovic, Steve “Shakey” Shakespere, Matt Box, Ben Billing,...

This weekend was the start of many different winter series all over the uk, inside and out, 1/8th and 1/10th and Team RCPB was represented up and down the UK.

This weekend was the first of the winter series of Nitro X Cross and the RCPB team were out in force, Matt Box, Alex Page, Andy Prosser, Milan Dragojlovic, Steve Shakespeare, Chris Lovell, Gary Gregory and Simon Davies all representing the team. The venue for the first round was East Shrewsbury Buggy Racing Club (ESBRC) pictured above and their new facility, currently a grass track with a few wooden jumps, but with prospects of dirt and Astro tracks in the pipeline, this venue is one for the future. Well done to Bryn Pound and all at the club for their hard...
