Id like to say a big thank you to the guys that organised this as it was the best run event I have ever been to. Ran like clock work. The atmosphere was great as well and I had a blast even when things didnt go to plan.

Jimmy,
I finally got loaded up and managed to close the boot, which was hard work but now I am home relaxing without a couple of lemons around me. It was a rather amusing weekend.

That was a great days racing yesterday. The way the top guys were attacking that track was just amazing. I cannot wait for the next one.
Big well done to all involved.

ALL were on Petit rc with a big live coverage! (results, pictures)

Thx for the live coverage Mister Petit. Seems a huge event. The Petit rc race must stay in UK! :D

Who needs a tannoy system when Ian Knight is in the venue.
Excellent event, venue and club.
Food was spot on too.
Looking forward to the next Petit race.:p

I had a great weekend big big big thank to Nicolas, Ian, the Maritime Raceway Team....

Well done to all from the weekend, Nicholas for a great event & All at Maritime for a superb meeting. I thought the track looked superb & the atmosphere was really good.
Funniest part for me all weekend was while chatting to one of the European guys (sorry can't remember your name) near the main doors at the bottom of the stairs, you could hear Ian shouting on the 3rd floor!!!!!!! I think he needs to get over his shyness problem!!!!!!!!! He was top notch though, racing was really great, thouroughlly enjoyed the destruction derby at the end as well!!

Congrats to everyone involved.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first "Petit RC" and wanted to say a massive thanks to Ian and the Maritime Raceway crew, to Nicolas, to Dave Church for his unique commentary, to the girls dishing out the cake (I'm going to wear shorts that tight next year and see how many people puke) and to anyone else involved in putting on the show. Also a big thanks to the guys in Heat 3 and the E final for some great racing.

Can't fault the event at all - roll on December when I'll try and make the Durga go even faster!

Come back regulary..... There are a lot of pictures for adding!

After doing the Petit in France it was a long, long wait, and hugely anticipated. Was happy to assist (especially with the girls!)

We had 14 of us enter the Petit this year, we climbed the table with a 40 place improvement and looking to take the A-Finals next year!!! :lol:

Thanks for all the hard work! Made for a cracking weekend and we all had a great time.

Ian Knight - Legend!!! Maritime, Fantastic place, and friendly bunch. Ian was great bloke to chat too and when up to his eyeballs would still take the time for queries and resolve issues.

Looking forward to the next one, 4th Edition. Oh, and I will force myself to endure another task of searching through pictures and selecting PetitRC Girls should you require.;)

Ian,

Any video's of the cars doing the jumps after the event was over?
