Team Associated's Neil Cragg takes the 2nd round of the BRCA Nationals with his RC8B3

It wasn't your conventional win, but in Neil's words, "I'll take it!"

It was a thriller to the wire and not a race for the faint hearted. Although Elliot Boots took TQ, the final was a close battle between Cragg and Boots for much of the race. Boots held a steady gap but Cragg had a fuel stop in hand.

At least until he ran dry - then all hell broke loose.

Neil's misfortune was a gift for Boots until the role was reversed. Boots ran into clutch issues and eventually ground to a stop. Neil eventually took the win, running on vapors. It was a thriller and another strong show for the new RC8B3 Team Kit platform.

Our junior boot camp drivers also had a fantastic weekend's racing, with both finishing the highest they have ever achieved at a national event. Congratulations to Jamie Clancy and James Harold. We are very proud of your achievement.
