Elliott Boots joins Team Durango

[jimmy]

It's official now - Team Durango have signed up rising star Elliott Boots to race the 2011 season with their new DNX408 1/8th scale buggy.

Team Durango:
One of the UK’s and Europe’s most naturally talented drivers joins Team Durango.
Team Durango are delighted to have Elliott on board. As well as being a regular BRCA national winner and Euros junior champion, Elliott set the 6th fastest time in one of the earliest qualification rounds at the Pattaya worlds, without any pre-event practice; which really shows Elliott’s raw talent.
The DNX408’s fast but secure handling will suit his aggressive style, but for the next couple of months it’s just a case of him getting some track time with the new car to be best prepared for the 2011 season.
One of Elliott’s first outings for Team Durango will be with the DEX410 10th scale 4wd buggy, which should keep his thumbs defrosted while snow limits what’s possible with his 8th scale DNX408.

I assume his first outing with the 410 will be at Petit?
