For those of us who have been following the BRCA electric off-road national championship this year we all knew the last round of this years series was sure to be a classic.
Neil Cragg and Darren Bloomfield could both say they have had a hard but very rewarding years racing in the BRCA national championship, both sharing the spoils at most of the events. As a result all year these two have been pushing each other as hard as possible trying to top the championship leader board at the close of the season.
After racing each other on all types of surfaces and at Neil’s local track the deciding round to the championship was to be held at Stotfold, a circuit local and nearly home for Darren.
With the extra point awarded for TQ and the championship so close the event started with an air of excitement and anticipation for both drivers.
Neil took TQ in round one and then our own Danny McGee was top of the board in round 2. After a slightly nervous start Darren finally got everything right and took rounds 3 and 4 to secure the TQ spot and the extra point. Also in the final for Horizon Hobby was local star Kevin Lee. Even with Darren on pole the championship was still not over as Neil could still get enough points to win the series.
Holding his nerve and driving within his limits Darren continued his good form in qualification to take the first two legs of the finals and as a result the BRCA national championship ! Kevin Lee and Danny McGee finished 4th and 5th respectively so everything considered a fantastic day for Horizon Hobby and Team Losi.

When most of us thought the weekend could not have gotten much better the 4wd event started. Darren continued his good form and put on a show in qualification taking the first 3 rounds with a margin not usually seen at an off-road event in the UK. Bad luck for Darren in the finals took away all chances of him taking the overall win but driving an LRP Powered Losi Kevin Lee took his chance and the overall win for the meeting.
Congratulations to Darren Bloomfield for becoming the BRCA national champion and congratulations must go to Kevin Lee for winning his very first national.

Congratulations to the Horizon Hobby team for a good seasons racing and some fantastic team and individual results.

From all of us at Horizon, thank you!
