The highly anticipated final round of Rug Racers XRS return season took place on Sunday 24th March where the podium places of each class were settled with the champions being crowned for the season. Unfortunately, the two driver who could’ve contested the modified title were not able to attend; Alex Thurston and Harley Eldridge – where Harley was out at ETS in Austria making history as the first female driver to make a modified ETS A final! The absence of these drivers meant that it would ultimately be won narrowly by Elliott Harper who would finish the season only 1 point ahead of runner-up ..read more

Having the the site go down and losing some posts (Blockhead Wild one review etc) was gutting. I did concentrate on what little free time I did have on racing, and that side of things has been fun, albeit I did pay the price for lack of preparation on some events.. However the Tamiya TRF420X has been getting faster and faster. The new SLP towers proved to work well, and the feedback from a dear departed friend was invaluable before ..read more
