Unusually the track and pitting area wasn't open today - so all the racers will have to pile into the venue at 8am tomorrow (monday) to get their spot in the pits and get their cars ready before practice starts around 9am.
The track is nuts - very steep, the the point of being hard to walk on at the back - crash there and you'll be there a while. We're in the hotel with all the Durango / Tamiya / AE / Swedish etc etc - I think nearly everyone is in the same hotel which is cool.

Click on the 2wd link and you'll find the menu on the left.
Congrats to X Factory drivers Tom Cockerill and Ellis Stafford, 2nd and 1st respectively in round one and sitting 2nd and 3rd overall!

Just also uploaded the photo gallery from Day 1 - worth checking out I think maybe. http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/euros...tos/index.html

Way to go Hupo!! TRF driver Hupo Honigl pulls off the overall win with his TRF equipped B4.
It's truly amazing to see that after being released way back in 2003 that the B4 is STILL the car to beat all over the world. Even on astro!!!
Now on to the 4WD Class!! Any predictions?
