For a great tour of Hobby Action from Raceway One.

So how did our UK team get on? For those of you who follow our national series, most of our tracks are Astroturf, so it was a chance for our drivers to experience some clay racing on slick tyres.  This is something that I can personally tell you is much harder than it looks. It’s a different driving style and grip level than our drivers are used to and some took to it straight away, while others struggled with the unique surface.  

Just a quick thank you from Martin Owen UK Team Manager - 

'The team was a pleasure to work with and while our results may not be what some would like to have achieved, the team all worked well together and enjoyed the meeting'
