Raid Car De-briefing Round 4
A completely different track surface for these cars to run on, the sandpaper like surface giving many cars too much grip and making them tippy, others finding their feet on this Challenge.

Class R1 (Ninco)
Makem's Bowler had a very good round this time coming 1st, with the Mitsubishi Pajero of AA Recovery 4 secs later and Gpa113's Touareg not much longer in 3rd.
Mike's Bowler found it particularly hard running coming last.

Class R2 ( SCX)
James Montero loved this Round coming 1st, with Andy's Thunderflash 4 sec later, and into 3rd palce. Paul's Touareg just beating Hotlaps Peugeot 405.

Class R3 (Pro-cars)
RoadRunners Porsche 959 just kept ahead of 2nd place Top Downs Hummer which seems to have found its best form since the start of the series, with Hoplaps Mitsubishi Lancer not far behind in 3rd.

Class R4 ( Open)
you guessed it, RoadRunners Odyssey "running away" again with 1st place, not far behind was the AA REvovery Van, and 3rd the Pajero of Savage GT which seemed to suffer a little on this one. Again a poor day for the Datsun of Oxo Cube and the Citroen 2CV of Qman with more "offs" than could be easily counted.

So after all that running at Wye Valley we have the combined results

Class R1 (Ninco)
Ist place - Any - BMW X5 
2nd - Paul - Mitsubishi Montero
Joint 3rd Qman Mitsubishi Montero and Makem's Bowler.
All very too close to call, could be a photo finish in this one.

Class R2 (SCX)
1st Place - James Mitsubishi Montero
2nd Place - Paul's -Touareg
3rd Place -Andy's Sandbuggy Thunderflash
Again everyone seemingly takin a turn at leading this class.

Class 3 (Pro -cars)
1st Place - RoadRunners - Porsche 959
2nd Place - Hotlap's -Mitsubishi Lancer
3rd Place - Markem's Mitsubishi Lancer
RoadRuners Porsche had a better run on this last Round, so have marginally extended their lead again, with the two Lancers of Hotlap and Makem not far behind 2nd and third.

Class R4 (open)
1st Place - RoadRunners - Odyssey 21
joint 2nd place - Savage GT Pajero & AA Recovery van.
RoadRunners drawing away from the 2nd place cars, but will it last ......

So next the cars are being sent all the way down to Brighton for the next Round 5
