Is this a typo

We received a quick update from the Durango team, who are present at this weeks European Championships in Finland, on todays 4wd practice. Durango team driver Jörn Neumann, who finished 8th in the 2wd class event, set the fastest lap time after 7 rounds of practice just in front of newly crowned 2wd European Champion Neil Cragg, driving the JConcepts BJ4WE, while Tamiya driver Hupo Hönigl ended the day with the 3rd quickest lap time. Friday sees final practice and the beginning of qualifying with the final qualfiying rounds and the finals taking place on Saturday.

Thats great Matti! Though I don't think i've much of a need for it myself it's cool to watch these things as I know from previous big events I couldn't attend. You and the other organisers have done a great job

Really the audio is OK? I bought the microphone yesterday but it was no good and we needed to come up with alternative solution. So is it currently OK? We have been testing couple different setups during last hour so just wanted to know that is it still OK or was it OK with some previous setup etc?

Question B44 ?

Are ther any B44s out on the track? Did anybody announce they would race them in the future (esp. Mr Cragg) ? Enjoy your time in Finland.

Great Job, Jimmy, as always.

No B44s at the event as far as I know. I was having dinner with Levänen on Wednesday and I understood that they still have some minor work to do with it.

A little more "Scotty" on the audio would be great.

It's still practice, but Scotty will be talking most of the time. I'm myself the other guy who's speaking. Scotty will do all the talking during the heats and I'll handle announcements related to timing, starting etc..

Just looking at the final practise results coming through, does it look like Ben Riley has been disqualified? There's a big DQ next to his name but he had a quick time so thinking something must have happened??
