Posted January 23, 2011 PetitRC Race 2011 Day 1 Day One? Saturday. Wowah, here we go then. People seemed to start moving around the hotel at 5:45am… Phone calls were made, who’s up? We rolled out at 6:30am, the car park almost empty. A brief tour of the KFC car park and we found a road. I lost Matt who was behind me due to the sheer power of the fairy powered Focus. Actually, no, they went to McDonalds, and for Mark to vomit… Oh dear, he really did drink too much. But, he outlasted his new FRIEND Belsten, who was found asleep in the car park late evening. The track was chocka, the pits are full, extra tables a go-go, awesome atmosphere already. Practise started, and the track looked nice, straight forward, with an entertaining tabletop, but it should really reward some close driving, some good battles are for sure. ...

Posted January 23, 2011 Day Two? Sunday. And then, there was a Sunday too. We got there around 6:30am, just as the top boys were hitting the track for practice. The track was virtually the same, just one jump moved and the table top reprofiled. Most of the drivers liked the track, saying it was easy, a touring car tracks with a few bumps and one big jump. Just one round of practice, and then onto four rounds of qualifying. My practice was okay, though the car was a bit of a handful, so I didn’t string together 3 decent laps. Qualifying First qualifying and I popped in a 13 lapper, which was okay, but then I seemed to spend the rest of the day wrenching on something or other. ...

Posted January 27, 2011 Lee Martin and Paul Bradby Win at 2011 Petit Race The 2011 Petit RC Race once again took place in the UK but this time at the Ardent Raceway after the previous venue of Maritime Raceway were unable to confirm the hosting due to concerns at the time over their building. Being located in central England, a large percentage of the entry was from the UK, although there was also many top drivers from around the World present including defending champion Jör n Neumann, TC World Champion Marc Rheinard from Germany, Hupo Hönigl from Austria and Shinn Adachi from Japan. In 2WD, Racer columnist and Tamiya driver Lee Martin took TQ ahead of Jörn and went on to win legs and three to take the win from the prototype Durango of Jörn with Paul Bradby (Associated) third. In 4WD, Racer-sponsored Paul Bradby took pole and the win with the new Associated B44.1, now powered by Speed Passion as he replicated Lee's wins in legs one and three from the previous day. This time, Hupo Hönigl's Durango would take the runner-up spot with Marc Rheinard's Tamiya in third. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 2, 2011 Am 13.01. machte sich unser Racing Team auf den Weg nach England um zusammen mit dem Schumcher Racing Team am legendären Petitrc Race teilzunehmen. Die Reise ging von Köln über die Niederlande, Belgien, Frankreich und dann durch den Eurotunnel auf die Insel. Dank rasanter Fahrmanöver durch den englischen Links-Verkehr, machten die einiges an Zeit gut und konnten so am Freitag noch ein paar Akkus trainieren. More details... Danke Chris'.

Posted February 3, 2011 Merci de penser à moi Gerard bracame! Ca me désole à nouveau de voir le peu d'intéret pour cette catégorie, même pour de très beau rdv comme la Petit RC Race! On s'étonnera par la suite que peu de gens y adhèrent et que l'on soit obligé de supprimer tout simplement cette catégorie dans nos championnats! Comment faire avancer une discipline quand peu de reportages y sont consacrés??? Dsl pour le petit coup de g...le en mode HS mais y'a vraiment de quoi se faire plaisir avec les trucks sans investir des millions et sur terre ca encaisse tout comme bestiole... Enfin bref, chacun pratique la discipline qui lui plait, du moment qu'on s'amuse... Cordialement Tonton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
