Default DEX410 Finishes 3rd at BRC

Some news from the BRC (British Regional Championships)

Team Durango driver Craig Collinson backed up his excellent day in 2wd with a mirrored result in 4wd driving the DEX410 for the very first time.

Craig had never driven the car before practice and his experience was made even harder by have radio glitches in practice and in round 1.

After changing to an unfamiliar handset for round 2, Craig still posted the 8th fastest time. With Craig's confidence in the car growing with each lap and changes in set-up, Craig posted the 5th fastest time in round 3. More set-up changes and confidence showed in the 4th fastest time in round 4.

These results placed him 6th on the grid for the A main.

Craig commmented on how easy the car was to drive and how he knew the could go faster and was just learning that he could push the car harder and harder without it biting back.

The main event was run over 3 legs, with Craig taking a 5th in leg 1. He then found the extra speed he was looking for to take a 2nd in leg 2. In leg 3, he didn't quite get the best of opening laps, but still managed to get into the groove and close down on the leading 3 to take 4th place.

With a 2nd and a 4th from legs 2 and 3 repectively, Craig took 3rd overall.

Well done fella
