Raid Car de-briefing (Round 3)


it was definitely a challenge too far for some vehicles but for others it provided an opportunity to shine
R1 (Ninco)
Notably Andy's BMW X5 which just beat Mike's Bowler by 2 seconds on the combined 2 runs to get 1st place. A bit of a gap with again a close call between the two Montero's just giving Qman's car the 3rd Place.

R2 (SCX)
Here Paul's Touareg had an outstanding run, then a gap before James Montero in 2nd followed by Oxo's Touareg, at last beginning to shine in 3rd on the podium. The Sandbuggy of Andy's just got bogged down on the steep hills

R3 (Pro-cars)
Hoptlap's Lancer grabing 1st place with a 7 sec lead, over 2nd place Makem's Lancer, RoadRunners having to settle for 3rd plave on this Round.

R4 (Open)
Rosberg's Odyssey making it look easy over over the hills some 13 seconds faster than 2nd place Pajero of Savage GT, with the AA Transit comfortably in 3rd.
Both the Datsun and the Citroen really could not cope, and went off multiple times with  the "hump"
