![]() ![]() The 2012 York 'EBOR 24' - 24 hour endurance race took place this weekend at the York Off Road Car Club's indoor venue. Seven teams took part with drivers coming from all over the UK - including a full team of Scottish drivers. After a few early problems and plenty of electrical changes later - the eventual winners by quite a long way were team CML / AE - running the 4WD Associated B44.1 buggy. The CML team's combination of 4WD and a ton of talented drivers meant they really wen't going to be touched despite early pressure and the aforementioned electrical problems - so the fight was on for second. Coming into the final few hours it was between the 2WD buggies of the Rossmod/Durango team, and team BudsBalls. Team BudsBalls were almost exclusively running their #1 driver, Nathan Ralls, to attempt to close the gap on Rossmod/Durango. A stripped Servo horn for the team dropped them back - and fixing the car with another stripped horn wasn't the best idea so in they came again. ![]() Above - the winning B44.1 of the CML./AE team. With half an hour to go and Nathan Ralls finally off the rostrum - it was clear that Rossmod-Durango weren't going to be caught and they held a lead of around 30 laps till the end to take second. ![]() Above: Rossmod / Durango team were second overall, and top 2WD car ![]() The final results were as follows: 1st CML Associated - 3970 laps - Associated B44.1Thanks to the organisers - roll on the next event!

Congratulations to the winners CML AE!!! I was surprised to see that this was a proper race, yes for 24 hours, these teams we NOT playing games and raced every lap for every position!!! I recommend attending this race next year!!! Also congrats to Ross mod/Durango team on their victory! You fought hard and had good tactics and had great reliability which helped you win!!! But you didn't have to get Jimmy to say we only used Nathan to try and defend why you only beat us by 30 laps!!! ![]() BUDSBALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
