I was right.

Naoto just won the second leg. Is world champion....

Let's see if it's going to be Hara in ISTC

Wow, Congrats to the ROAR North America team... I know they had a small team but still proved to be strong with Hebert, Cyrul, and Lemieux all making the finals....

Yep and Lemieux still has an outside shot at the podium.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm pretty sure Atsushi will be running Nosram. I spoke to Andy M at the cotswolds nat recently, and he mentioned whilst the power of the GM was very good, the feel was no where that of the LRP/Nosram speedos, so he was going to stay with Nosram. I believe there's some new software in their speedo's too, what with the Rev2 SXX/pearl out on show...

Anyway, back to the thred.. Congrats to Naoto on his win, also impressed Jilles managed to steal away second from Marc in the last leg. Was watching the live timings, and Naoto's drive in the second leg, you could see it coming.. To go last to first in 4mins is something!

Naoto wins back to back worlds in asphalt and carpet... Was anyone else using the new Yokomo 1/12th?

Wow - three ROAR reps in the A. Kevin and Paul putting themselves into the big show is great. Congrats to the winners. I cannot wait to watch all of the videos.

A pretty good showing for the ROAR team. Really nice to see Paul come out of nowhere to make the main, and then out of nowhere to finish best of the North Americans.
