The 3rd round of the French 1/8th scale buggy Nationals took place this weekend at the Reims circuit in the North of France. The event was dominated by the European Champion Yannick Aigoin who set the fastest time in qualifying driving his RB powered XRAY, securing him TQ and the first starting position at the grid. After the bad luck in the previous two rounds of the French Championship this time Yannick earned the good luck. Yannick's XRAY XB8EC was unstopable and unbeatable and after the long final run Yannick took home the overal win of the 3rd round of the French 2007 Nationals.
