Contact RC Tyres are pleased to announce their new range of 1/12th Circuit tyres known as 'J compound'. Over the last 12 months contact drivers have been testing a lot of different rubber types and we are now happy to provide this ready for sale. The new rubber is especially good on high traction conditions where the track is especially grooved in. Adam Catchpole took some of the first tyres straight off the shelf and TQ'ed and won the prestigious CARS shootout at the weekend! Read more...
Marc Rheinard has claimed his first ETS victory for 12-months, the German taking his third consecutive Apeldoorn win which is where the 3-time former World Champion last stood on the top step of the podium. Dominating the second leg of the A-Main ahead of team-mate Viktor Wilck, who didn’t mount the much anticipated challenge, the win maintains Tamiya’s 100% winning record at the Dutch track, which has now hosted the race 4-times. Behind the Tamiya 1-2, Team Yokomo’s Ronald Volker completed the Top 3 with the defending champion and Wilck now set to battle it out for what could be a crucial second place in terms of the championship standings with two rounds still remaining.
After recently converting to Schumacher Jimmy Maddison has won his first race with the new Mi5. Jimmy TQ'ed, won and set a new track record at the new SRL (Southern Racers League) based at various venues around the south of England. Round 2 took place last weekend at the coastal Model Car Club and Jimmy made the trip to get valuable running on the new Mi5 platform. Schumacher would like to officially welcome Jimmy to the team and congratulate him on his first victory!
After an 11-week break, the Yokomo Euro Touring Series resumes this weekend (May 17-19) in the Netherlands with the beautiful Apeldoorn track getting the second half of the World famous electric touring car championship’s sixth season underway. A hugely popular track with competitors, the fourth round attracting 280 entries, defending champion Ronald Volker heads into the weekend at the top of the championship standings ahead of Yokomo team-mate Yannic Prumper and last year’s race winner Marc Rheinard. Volker, who has two wins and a third to his credit this season, will be hoping he has much better fortunes than he experienced 12-months ago in Apeldoorn when a difficult qualifying meant he would end up racing in the E-Final.
