Default Petit Race 2010 - Report



The Petit race 2010 is being held over the weekend of the 16-17th January 2010. With 2WD and Truck on day one - followed by the 4WD's on day two. Qualifying was FTD (fastest time) and while Shin Adachi from Japan took the first two rounds of qualifying and Lee Martin took round three with a new fastest time - it was reigning 2WD National Champion Ellis Stafford that put in the run of the day in the final round of qualifying to take overall Top Qualifier.
Check out the semi-live report online HERE: http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/petit2010/

Thanks to our sponsors Schumacher for sponsoring our coverage - without them we'd not be able to afford this trip so make sure to check out their website: www.racing-cars.com and their new up-coming 2WD buggy, the Cougar SV

Yannic had a best of 4th in round with the Durango prototype 2WD and qualified 9th overall - he's never driven off road before!

Awesome! I’ve been mashing the refresh button on a couple sites today, watching for news, & now I’ve got an oOple fix.

Great snow pic also.

Perchance I misunderstand his English - maybe he never raced 2WD?

Great report as per usual but the manolis bit isn't quite right, it's mixed up with the Pred RS.
