Default Elliott Boots TQs worlds 1/8th

I Wanted to congratulate Elliott on being first Brit to TQ a 1/8th offroad worlds.
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!!

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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