Lee Martin takes BRCA Rallycross Nats RD 2 - Coventry
Lee Martin took the TQ and overall win at this weekends BRCA 8th Rallycross national at Coventry. UPDATE - REPORT ONLINE HERE
  Round two of the series got off to a bad start with rain spoiling the fun for some - but Sunday was pretty much all sunshine. In the final it was really a battle between Lee Martin and Elliott Boots - these two were 'ON IT' all weekend. Lee made an early error and had a little roll which allowed Ellliott past. Elliott crashed at the end of the straight and Lee was back in front - a fair pass by Elliott saw him take up the lead once more as Lee's car just got a little out of shape coming into a corner. Fuel stops started to scatter the drivers a little but the battle between these two was still very much on until disaster struck Elliott - a few corners before he was due to come in and refuel his car flamed out and it was essentially over for him - but taking 4th overall after such a setback showed his pace. Lee Martin took the overall win by over half a minute from Neil Cragg in second and Darren Bloomfield third. Thanks to Answer-RC we'll be attending all the BRCA 8th rallyX nationals and will have a full report online very soon. Big thanks to Pete at Answer along with Tony Truman for helping sort some 'issues' out. Really great series - about time it got some coverage.

Don't worry it'll be a good read
I don't think I will put the video online - I asked for time to switch on my cameras but wasn't given any so basically had to run like a lunatic to switch on my audio - then three different video cameras around the track. Unfortunately one was way out of focus and I didn't get chance to check it. Otherwise I think it would have been fairly easy to string together a video of the final as I pretty much had most all the track covered. Still - I'll use 4 video cameras at Wakefield. Really disappoiinted after all the effort to not have chance to make final checks and get everything recording nicely. But I'll learn for next time. I think the finals could do with a grid photo also - people want to see the cars so why not spend the 2 minutes to get the mechanics to line the cars up grid style (along the pipe or however) so all us reporters (me) can get some nice shots of the cars and promote the sponsors that put so much money into sending their drivers to these events. Just an idea. I tend to get hated for having ideas like this - so feel free to verbally abuse me
