On July 31st, CRAP hosted Round 4 of the 1/10th Electric Touring Car National Championship.
This circuit was about 360m in perimeter and was built a long time ago with 1/5th and 1/8th scale in mind, so speed and fast cornering are the keys of the equation. In all, 33 drivers attended this event, 11 in Modified and 12 in Stock class.

The race day was challenging to both classes, where great speeds could be achieved on the main straight and on large turns as well, but even a small mistake could lead you into trouble.
