Day 1 of the event just saw registration and the opening ceremony with some tyre gluing and battery measuring thrown in for good measure. Day 2 sees the first cars on the track and we'll hopefully get to see some more interesting cars that have so far been hidden away.

If you've any requests to see things or want to know anything then let us know and we'll try to find out.

Check out the report online now: http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/worlds2011/

Hat's off Jimmy, superb!. Got me hooked on the daily news now!

This is the 2wd Kyosho secret. Should be Cody's, alltrough I'm not shure, that all on the team are driving it.

[tellor]

shame Darren's not there due to BRCA red tape, bit of common sense needed surely.

makes it even stranger when you see who is there from the uk, not sure everyone who is there actually qualified, could be wrong...

are you referring to the uk team or other national teams?,

[Mrs oOple]

If you're thinking Jimmy oOple, he isn't racing because he didn't qualify either - he raced no nationals last year.
I have raced at one national this year, but none last year so sadly I didn't qualify either

Perhaps if Darren and I both get organised and race a national each next year, we'll be all set for a place at the next WC event - I'll give him a run for his money, world championship warm up winner? pfff....

[tellor]

Apologies, it does look like all have quailified

12.3

The World Championship team will be selected in the order of the previous year‟s National Championship results for each class individually.

fair enough, if you enter and all those above you don't want to go so be it, plus the BRCA member rule!

I know that rules are good and fair for everyone but if i had a place and knew the likes of Darren wasn't going i'd give my place up so the UK had a better chance of doing well

[DaveG28]

Tellor, I think this has come up, the problem is that:

A) You don't get to choose who you give your place to
B) I am not sure he could ever get an entry, even if there were spaces, as he didn't meet the uk entry requirement.

I agree it's a shame though, as you want the best fighting it out!

[Mrs oOple]

Im feeling the love for Martin Achter

[Mrs oOple]

Martin Achter is one of our number one fans. He is holding his true skill back for the first couple of qualifying rounds and saving himself for later in qualifying.

I wonder if the UK team are being conservative aswell....don't see their times up there in the higher ranks. But hey, who am I to speak!!

I just hope they are serving the best till last!!

Best of luck!!

I've got that too, quick clear of the proxy cache and that fixed it for me. If you're at work and use a proxy server get the IT guys to fix the proxy server ;

[steelie600]

and if your at home????

[Cardnim]

click anywhere on the grey bits to the left and right of the oople page.
Now hold down CTRL and press the "F5" button - this forces a refresh from server, not the cache.

HTH

[MatJohnson]

If your on IE9 then press F12 and open the developer tools, goto cache > Always Refresh from server, that fixed it for me.

Vicky, where is the loop on the track?

Didn't work for me at work until I cleared the proxy cache, but certainly should work for those not stuck behind proxy servers
