Interesting...So that's the strange colour I see around the holes that have been repaired?

Lee has been running the Kyosho since he made the switch to Infinity in November. in April he ran a HB 817

He drove JQs car and the HB at the warm ups to this race also unlike ROAR (or how ROAR used to be)people have to qualify for this race in their respective associations in their country .

Also Hairy JQ is doing quite well at this race hes 8 qualifier over all and has beat out some serious competition he starts 4th in his Semi so he is in a better position than Lee and the Kyosho maybe he should have drove the JQ car . Oh I might add Max Mort the other young JQ driver is in the 1/4 final so not so bad for JQ at this event. But Battle and Mugen gave everyone a lesson yesterday in qualifying the Semis and Final will be interesting .

Big congrats to Batlle on his Euros win! Also props to Ongaro for bringing his B3 home in second. The best cars have (pillow) balls!

You know, when rules are written and approved is one thing. Other if said rules aren't applied then it leaves space for interpretations and accusations to be made, like now some could say there was bribery or other interests at play, EFRA put themselves in that situation. Last year or so the rules of parc fermé weren't applied too, favouring a driver.

If you did/can avoid rules and penalties would you point your finger now?

Might there be a provision that allows you to find a substitute in case you can't marshall?
