Midland Indoor Carpet C/ship Round 2 – Report

Based in Telford in the UK, Round 2 of the Midland Indoor Carpet Championship took place last weekend where fresh from his IFMAR 1:8 Onroad World Championship Finale debut in Chile, Alex Thurston took the Modified TC win.  It was Thurston who continued his dominance from Round 1 to take TQ in all 4 rounds.  Stefan Chodzynski would line up 2nd followed by Peter Eagles.  Junior Andrea Torregiani lined up 4th with Liam Brookes and Sam Richardson close behind in 5th and 6th.  Less than a second separating the three drivers.  Thurston edged out Chodzynski in a nail-biting finish, with only a tiny margin separating the two at the finish.  Eagles completed a fiercely competitive podium, finishing just behind the top two in what was one of the closest three-way battles of the season so far.  Richardson, Alex Bold, and Liam Brooks were all tightly bunched behind the leaders, trading positions and keeping the intensity high throughout the race.  Paul Chambers would cross the line in 7th, while Torregiani had a final to forget despite showing amazing speed all day.
