The initial testing of the new Corally Phi continues apace, after two practice sessions the Horizon Hobby UK team took the new Corally Phi to the West London Racing Centre for the first competitive run out for the new chassis design.

The weather was kind and the meeting took place on the hottest day of the year so far, which allowed the team to really concentrate on find out the optimum settings.
Chris Delves lead the way in qualifying from fellow Horizon Hobby UK team mate Chris Kerswell in second place, Richard (The Ginge) Thorpe who was running a RDX qualifing in 8th place for the main 19turn A final.

During the day a number of small changes where carried to the suspension settings by both drivers to optimise the mid corner speed and traction of the turns. By the end of day both had agreed too what they felt would be the best setting, so both cars started the A final with the same set up.

The first A final leg had Chris Delves pulling away fast from the other Chris at the start and never looking like loosing the lead that he had built up, the second and final leg of the A final saw a reversal of positions with Chris Kerswell leading after a small error had dropped Chris D out of the lead, mid race saw Chris Delves put in a charge after Chris Kerswell had a slight slip up to close the gap to millimetres but Chris Kerswell recovered well to finish the final three meters in the lead.  The Leg One win coupled to the TQ gave Chris Delves the overall result from Chris Kerswell making it a PHI one two.
