Tom Cockerill / Schumacher takes the 2010 BRCA 2WD National Title at Stotfold.

[jimmy]

In a closely fought 2WD championship, Tom Cockerill took the overall win in the 2010 BRCA National series at the very last final of the day at the final meeting of the year held at Stotfold on Saturday the 14th August 2010.

It wasn't the way Tom would have liked to take the championship - sitting in the B final and marshalling the A, Tom got to watch the proceedings. Ellis Stafford would need to win the meeting to snatch it away from Tom and with one win a piece between Ellis and Kevin Lee, it was down to the last leg of the A to decide the overall championship positions.
Tom watch with a smile as Kevin Lee walked away from the rest to take the victory - knowing he'd retained his lead in the series and therefore the title was his and sponsors Schumacher and Speed Passion.


A full report on the Stotfold national will be on oOple.com soon!

Congrats, but interested to know what happened to Lee Martin etc. etc. as I thought they were tied on points

[Darren Boyle]

In the end there was a three way tie on the same points between Tom, Ellis and Lee and the result came down to a tie breaker (best counting scores) and Tom comes out on top, Ellis second and Lee third....

The fact that Kevin Lee took the TQ and win today (and fought hard for it all the way) and pipped Ellis to the "130" points they needed, meant Tom ran out champion.

At least we at X-Factory cannot be accused of team driving or team orders (a la Ferrari) since if we did Kev would have let Ellis take the easy win in leg two and we would have a different champion now.......

Well done to Tom and all at Schumcaher and a hard fought win over the season.....

[mikeyscott]

Wow, what a season and congrats to those at the top

[Cruise]

P.S.In Germany we managed to win the vice title in Stock and I won the 40+ title in mod.

Very odd situation indeed. Similar things have happened before, on the continent!

At Team X-Factory, we are our own main rivals

Bet Ellis loved that........

[Chrislong]

Ellis is a fair guy, possibly amongst the fairest, im sure he wanted to be champion as he's ultra competitive, cut him in half and it'll read "fastest single lap", but he'd have wanted to win it (and be kicking himself for not) rather than gifted im sure...

finally a use for that sticker then!

[Cockerill]

I'd just like to say a MASSIVE thanks to all my sponsors for their support this season, especially Schumacher & Speed Passion

Also to all the people who have helped me track side throughout the season, with a special mention to Si for the all the setup help

[nicefrog]

When you're getting paid 50 million a year to drive a F1, the team can be persuasive I don't think a few free 10th scale buggys and parts are going to pull much weight though . Anyway a good result I think, Schumacher put in the hard yards to develop a pretty radical new 2wd car unlike anything else and thanks to some skilled driving it's won in the very first season

[bigred5765]

nice one tom you earned it mate
so when's the god spec cougar out then

Maybe you would have totally dominated if you got your set up advice from Nathan Ralls, seen as Si went quicker with Nathan's car than with his own!! ha

All joking aside well done Tom you deserved the championship. You've really raised the bar this season

[GRIFF55]
