Elliott Boots TQs worlds 1/8th
 
I Wanted to congratulate Elliott on being first Brit to TQ a 1/8th offroad worlds.:wub
I Wish him luck for the finals, if anyone else wants to wish him luck please do so here :)

Looking at weather today i am not sure the finals will even be run! thats a huge dissapointment to everyone, I am sure Elliott wants to race the finals even though he could win by default if they they cancel them!!

James 07-12-2012 10:03 AM

Well a shame if the final doesn't run but regardless incredible result and good luck to Elliot! And awesome result for Lee too!! Also best of luck Butch, Darren and Neil :thumbsup:

mikeyscott 07-12-2012 10:28 AM

That would be a great shame, but congrats on the TQ thus far.

MHeadling 07-12-2012 10:37 AM

Amazing result for Kyosho, Elliot, Mike and Chris!

Well done lads

Let's hope he can bring it home! :)

Top job, from the footage I've seen Elliot was totally on-it from the first turn of a wheel.

Good luck with the finals fella.

Good luck to all the Brits and hopefully it will be brought back to the UK.

RudeTony 07-12-2012 01:19 PM

Neil, I think at the rate the weather is going in Argentina, you better change the totle to 'Boots World Champion'

I know he would want to race but the rain is not stopping and getting worse

Briangb 07-12-2012 03:13 PM

My very best wishes to Elliott on a fantastic achievement. Backed up I am sure by Chris and Mike. Very well done to the other Brits, especially Lee.
If Elliott gets the title, what a magnificent end that would be to an incredible year for British sport.

Neil Skull 07-12-2012 03:18 PM

Your Right Brian,
First British Euro winner with Darren, A first British WC winner would be nice. if ever a uk guy had a chance this is the time with the weather and the track being very English:)

I just checked and i believe they are running finals this afternoon! wheter they get all done in time by end of play tomorrow remains to be seen, also if so what condition the track will be in.
I remember Mike Cradock Holding onto TQ for a long time in Uraguay i think when conditions was horrid, So if anyone is happy to set a car up for rain its mike :)

Chrislong 07-12-2012 03:27 PM

Really pleased for all the brit guys, good luck Elliott, awesome job done so far.

I know its a long shot, but any live streaming of the finals? if not, hope someone can record it and post it later. With brit weather can we get 3 brits on the podium?!?! Good luck Lee, Butch, Darren and Neil.

Paul Field 07-12-2012 04:51 PM

Well done Elliott awesome drive.
Live coverage can be found at www.liverc.com although the server seems to be down at the moment.
Good luck to the rest of the brits.

GRIFF55 07-12-2012 05:55 PM

Well done bootsy! One hell of an achievement. Good job Mick too!

Good luck to all the uk guys in the finals and top job to Lee in qualy too.

Well done guys

Rebelrc 07-12-2012 07:20 PM

Well done Elliot !

Rebelrc 08-12-2012 10:39 PM

Unlucky Elliot
Chin up mate
There's always next time!
TQ / talk of the worlds is a great result also ( I can only dream of that lol)
Clearly the quickest there
See you at maritime

Neil Skull 09-12-2012 09:14 AM

Bad luck Elliott,
Lots of top drivers out due to bad luck. All the brits suffered in the finals, only Lee made it and had issues i hear in final :(

Welshy40 14-12-2012 12:11 PM

Nice that no one posted any results here. I am guessing by the search on Google that Elliot wasnt in the Workds A final so If he TQ'd how come he wasnt in the A?

arvi 14-12-2012 12:17 PM

TQ only gives you pole position in Semi A. You dont automatically go into the final by TQ ing.

Bad luck but I wonder what happened as he didnt have a good start in the semi and made mistakes which is unlike him and then suddenly his steering went. I wonder if someone crashed into him or what.

If not for the issues he was the fastest man there for the majority of the worlds.

RogerM 14-12-2012 12:20 PM

From what I was told he suffered a servo failure but I've not had that confirmed.

They did post the results on here last week in the "Argentina Worlds" thread....

In particular James Helliwells post with the full A final grid, and tech chart etc...
