PirateRC reports - Graham Alsop takes the 2008 Apex GP with a fantastic win after some awesome racing. Those racers lucky enough to attend the GP were presented with a perfectly groomed race track, and one of the best race meetings of 2008 in the UK. Day one got off to a rather wet start, with rain overnight, and still falling rather nicely to kick the day off. A true credit to the people behind preparing the track and dedicating there time to put on a truly awesome event. Read More...

CML reports - Hobao factory driver Graham Alsop took TQ and the win at the prestigious Apex GP at Slough. Graham had a hard battle for pole position with Associated driver Elliott Boots, but it was the Hobao driver who came out on top to take the qualifying honours. By taking TQ Graham avoided the lottery of a semi final and this was what accounted for Elliott and meant the young man from Kent was unable to take his place in the main final. Elliott was unlucky as a receiver lead pulled out and ended his challenge. The main final saw Graham drive fast and controlled, using his RB/Byron power package to stretch out the fuel stops to 10 minutes which gives a big advantage at Slough due to the very slow pit lane. Graham went on to win unchallenged from David Crompton and Jon Hazelwood. 4th and 5th were Jon Howells with his Picco powered Hobao and Craig Drescher with the RB Associated. All of the top 5 chose Proline tyres to take them to the front. CML

Werks Racing is pleased to announce the release of it's new and improved 1/8th buggy inserts. How do you improve on our neon green buggy inserts that were already one of the most popular molded inserts amongst the US indoor racing crowd? It's not easy I'll tell you that much! We kept the same wide, slightly rounded profile that works exceptionally well with most of today's more popular tire designs on the market. However when it came to materials we took a fresh approach! Our inserts use a new, lighter weight, higher quality material that allows us to make an even more consistent insert, virtually eliminating any difference in hardness between one insert to another. This allows you to have the most consistent and balanced performance from your tires! As an added bonus the new material is less prone to disintegrating resulting in a more consistent, longer wearing insert all at the same price as the old one! Werks Racing 1/8th buggy molded insert WRX7092, still the same part number but now even better. Easily recognizable in new "pure white"! Werks Racing
