Argentina Worlds

[David Church]

The track was built next to a river not far downstream from a dam I've been told. If the water gets too high and they have to open the dam the whole place could flood and it would take days for the water to go down. So it's possible the finals will not take place and Elliot would be the champion! Will know in a few hours when the sun is up and I can go have a look at the track.
I hope it's not flooded! We have come a long way to be here, and there has been a lot of problems. Internet at the track has failed massively so live Rc has not had good coverage of the event, nothing they can do as it's the Internet provider that is failing. They paid a lot of money to have a good connection as well.
Lots of other problems as well, there will be loads of stories coming from this world championships.

Now a toxic cloud has been seen not far from here, lol. The local reports say its non toxic. Yeah right lol

[David Church]

I've just been over to look at the track, it's wet but not flooded so we should be good to race today!!!

is that the rain with the Toxic cloud in it?

[goldy]

If it gets rained off, does Elliot come home world champ

[David Church]

Elliot would be champion if it gets rained off. It's very windy here today and much cooler than earlier in the week. Hopefully it will have blown that toxic cloud away lol. It's dry at the moment and not many clouds in the sky which is good, you would think they would be at the track now clearing the water, but nope, no one is even at the track now!!! There will be many sore heads today as many were drinking yesterday and many were up very late!!!

[DCM]

It does seem to be very low atmosphere at the Worlds, normally the track is buzzing all the time, but at this one, seems like they are on siesta all the time!!

[David Church]

Yep it's a very poor atmosphere. And as far as I can tell there is still no one working on the track.

What a shame.

Fingers crossed it warms up you all get racing.

[DCM]

You'd think they would make more of an effort wouldn't you. track looks like a club day, odd banner here and there

[hotrodchris]

Or Elliot just comes home with the Title?

[bomber]

The english drivers should feel right at home with the puddles and mud

[David Church]

I'm going to the track now, some of the UK drivers are going over to work on the track! Probably won't have in Internet there, but will try and update if I get the chance.

Good to see you sneek Jimmy into the Neobuggy RC Racing Thursday roundup!

[racingdwarf]

maybe they are not working on the track untill they know about the dam, they have the advantage of local knowledge. Looking at a few local reports they have had some serious rain around those parts. Even if it's stopped they may well need to open the dam as the land drains to the rivers hours after it's stopped

Build the track on a flood plain, sweet
