Defending 2WD European Champion Lee Martin retained his title at the 2011 European Championships held at the Plaine des Sports du Hameau track in Pau, France. After qualifying 2nd on the grid, Lee took to the track to challenge former 2WD World Champion Neil Cragg in the pole position, for the win.
Lee slid through into 1st place on the first lap of Leg1, and didn't look back - taking the leg win 7 seconds ahead of Neil.
Leg 2 didn't work out quite so well for Lee, although he managed to pass Neil on the opening lap, an error saw Neil move back into first position. On the final lap of the race Lee made another error and lost out on 2nd place to Paul Bradby.
Lee was back on form for leg 3 however, and won the leg 4 seconds ahead of Neil, securing him the Championship win.
More news and pics to be added soon. Congratulations to Lee on his win, and all the other drivers who put up a good fight, especially the UK team
Big thanks to James Helliwell for the pics.
