Tekin team drivers takes a top spots at BRCA Nationals RD4

This past weekend Rd4 of the BRCA 1/10 Offroad Nationals was hosted at Silverstone. If you've heard the name in full size racing, you'd be correct. Many a large full scale race has been held here.

The track was laid out in a covered equestrian arena. The track was mostly laid out astro turf along with a corner of natural grass installed last minute as a repair.

Qualifying would get under way. Tekin's own Kev Lee would be in the top 4 right out of the gate in Q1. Q2 would be all Kev Lee taking the round.

Kev would start 3rd on the grid for the A-mains. A1 Elliot Boots would rocket away from his TP 1 position with Darren Bloomfield and Kev Lee in tow. Darren and Kev would have an incident dicing for 2nd place with Kev getting the worst of it dropping down to finish 4th for Rd1.
A2 Elliot would make a mistake with a traction roll allowing for Kev to close the gap and take the lead. Kev would fight off Elliot would make a pass on the inside. Kev would take 2nd. Giving the Kyosho teammates a 1-2 finish.

A3 Elliot Boots would take off from TP1 and never look back. Kev and Darren would have another battle staying extremely close but professional. Kev would end up with a 3rd for A3 giving him a hard fought 3rd overall for Rd4 of the BRCA Nationals.

One of Tekin's latest Euro editions to the team Danny McGee would have a stellar weekend at Silverstone.

Danny would bust out the first 16 lap run of the day with his Tekin powered Tamiya 511. Besting Tamiay teammate Lee Martin and Ae's Neil Cragg in Q2.

Danny would start from the 3rd position for the triple A-mains. A1 would be a battle up front with Lee Martin and Neil Cragg battling it out allowing Danny to catch the leaders. Danny would traction rolling falling back to 4th where he'd finish for the round.

A2 Lee Martin and Neil Cragg would again build up a small gap to 3rd place Danny but within a few hot laps McGee would catch the lead pack and now make a 3 way battle for the lead. Danny would be rewarded for his patience as Cragg would bobble giving McGee 2nd. Soon after Lee would go wide and Danny would dive in low to take the lead. Danny would hold on until the end edging out Lee for the extra lap!

Danny would have a rough A3 finishing 6th in that round. However overall he'd finish 3rd along side Lee Martin and Neil Cragg. Excellent job Danny!
