Just over 100 entries were received for round 3 across the classes which for the lead up to Christmas is impressive. With that racers had some great choice with other races to attend on the same day with the 12th Nationals and EWS both clashing with the CWIC XRS. Yet we didnâ™t have a more than expected drop in attendance so thank you for the support of the racers who attended to make it another great CWIC XRS!
As usual the track layout and pits looked great. Fast but technical track which challenged the best drivers and rewarded everyone when they got it right! We all need to thank the Chippenham club, Big G Racing, RC Disco, Hobbywing, XRAY and HUDY for their support and work to get the CWIC XRS back to being a go-to series.

As in previous rounds the ever popular Hobbywing ProStock 13.5 class is the most popular by a long way, attracting well over a 100 racers to the class over the series so far. Round 3 has seen some new faces on the podium due to some notable Team XRAY absences being away on other XRAY duties.
Top qualifier Dan Blake converted that into a overall round 3 win with wins in both legs of the finals. Closely followed by Chris Gunter and BGRâ™s Mark Giaquinto. Notable A final appearances for Liam Hammond and Alex Everett getting the chance to break into the A final for round 3.
