I hope Fabs will forgive me for breaking the news ... at this very moment, he is probably still on the way back home to the UK.

Fabs and Nathan Ralls were some of the UK-drivers that came over to Charleroi, Belgium to take part in our Euro Indoor Race (EIR 2010).

They both drove in the "Fabianised" midmotored RB5 ... and Nathan won the event with this prototype!
Nathan showed excellent driving skills, and the car was dialed on the track, just perfect. It was overall clear that no other driver could keep up with Nathan with his Fabianised RB5. At some moments, during Q's, Nathan almost lapped second man, Sebastien Wartelle (which is a local topdriver and who ended on second place 2WD in the EIR-event)

It were fun moments when people came over to inspect "this X6 from the champ", to be astonihed when they learned it was NOT an X6, but a prototype RB5.
Many picures were taken and whenever they become available online, I'll link them here.

Fabs and Nathan, as a proud member of Team Nani'c and Team Domlomp, it was a great pleasure to pit with you guys. It was one of the weekends I will long remember with warm feelings

and ... although I am a patient man ... I'm eagerly waiting to find that new mod-kit in my letter-box.
"Unfortunatly", the interest for the car was significant, and Fabs will maybe receive much more orders ... and I might have to wait a bit longer for the kit ... but hey, that car is worth waiting for!!
