Default Worlds

Been little said on here, so what do we all think so far, great to see Neil right up at the top,what happened in the yokomo camp? Elliot Boots winning the B!

I still don't like the track, I think it quite funny that the yokomo sponsored venue at the last min screwed in some rubber strips, that the yokomo cars hated. Most people in the uk who have raced astro for some time Know that random sharp obstacles in fast astro just don't work

Whole load of cars that are possibly prototype or just one off for the worlds, towels over cars in the pits, serpent using a Durango,AE not even letting press in there pit area Hmmm all very 90's

I'm not sure how the atmosphere is track side things seem a bit tight in all the coverage

But you have to take your hat off to the USA boys, take them right out of their comfort zone and they still manage to fill the podium

A lot being said on Rc Tech, all the Us racers still kicking off that the worlds is on astro, dummy's all over the place!

But its all change now the US locked out the podium! Typical yanks eh

Well done to all, those strips did not look nice at all, tough track!

I was a little underwhelmed by track when I first saw it but it has produced some good racing. The black strips are just wrong - almost like they laid track out and thought that side of track was a bit featureless so chucked the trips down. Hope they get rid of them for 4wd.

Shocked at the lack of Yokomo performance (I appreciate Lee making the A is huge achievement and not trying to take anything away from that but can't believe he went there without higher hopes), imagine they will be going for it big time in 4wd.

Seems like the resources and experience of Associated overcame any lack of astro experience - wonder how different the team cars were to kit B5Ms and if we will see a Worlds version with any major changes?

Agree with above, I was looking forward to following the UK lads and still have a bit but for the track to be a Worlds track is a bit naff. Its nothing better than Worksop put on for one of their rounds. Although its very neat and tidy, dont people expect to see a flash dirt track?? Those black strips are a terrible idea too!!

The track is an absolute joke for a world championship.

It feels like an indoor worlds and not a real one, IMO.

Look back to the '89, '91, '93 Worlds to see some "proper" tracks..!
Bit like F1, the modern tracks are too artificial IMO.
Why is everyone surprised that Associated are doing well..? They are, after all, the most successful Team..
