Paul Upton took the crown over the two days, even though he had three pit stops in the final and still came through to win the race.

I just have to say the same as everybody else really...

A Big Thank You to all the Silverstone Crew and the other helpers etc. they certainly know how to organise a weekend of RC racing!!!!

Track was, as usual, amazing and the venue and facilities all good, big thanks to Matt, Paul, Spencer, Scott, Lloyd, Richard and the rest for everything, sorry I don't know everyones names.

Also thank you to all the team drivers that helped us lower drivers out with all their information/parts.

Team Extreme for my set up (Vega & X11)

I just have to mention the actual racing especially from the top drivers, absolutely first class. All extemely fast and smooth but also really clean and fair. Well done to Lee Martin for the 4wd win and also Elliot Boots for the third leg A Final win, well deserved.

Can't wait for the next one, maybe the Winter National in Feb..

on a side note, cheers to Kev, Tony and Lee for the stickers lol...

Scott..

My thaughts are simple .... THE BEST INDOOR TRACK I'VE RACED ON THIS CENTURY!!

To add balance, as there is always room to improve, you could have painted the track markers white or something to make it look a bit smarter (didn't affect the ability to see them though ... it was fine as it was).

Great work to the guys involved, a credit to each and every one of you.

Awesome event, well done Matt Owen and the other guys at the Silverstone Club - you are legends

God, that even makes me feel old.

[jaywestwood]

Has anyone got any video's from the wknd?

[DaSloth]

there are some videos of the 4wd a-final on neobuggy.net already, i guess more stuff will come online as people have time to upload vids

[Collegeboy]

fantastic weekends racing, very well organised and maintained by Matt and his team. A massive thankyou to you all.

We had some problems Saturday with electrics, but got that sorted by R1 so Sam could race. Electrics back in my car Saturday night in the hotel room ready for Sunday , finished of the red wine and went to bed dreaming of doing well. I never have such luck, struggled with getting a balanced setup for most of the day .
But all that aside, the atmosphere the whole weekend and the people we were pitting with both days, made up for.

Thanks again Matt, Paul and all the team. Cannot wait till the next Area 51

Happy racing

Id just like to echo what everyone else is saying.
Well done to all involved on a great meeting I wish I could of made both days now and I hope you run another meeting next year.
It was a great track, I was a little skeptical of some of the jumps when I saw the track but after driving it they all work well and it was probably one of the best indoor tracks iv raced on.
