I've got to thank everybody for this superb event in Ardent Raceway. For me it was the first race ever out of the borders of Greece and the first time i ever raced on carpet.
It was all very well organized, really nice people, great atmosphere (though a little cold for my liking) and we had a great time. I loved carpet racing, i enjoyed every little turn i took and every jump i (over)shoot. Great stuff!

Many thanks to Nicolas for organizing the event, Ardent people and everyone responsible for this event.

We did some photography on the track for RCdevil.gr, our greek rc website, so here it is for everyone to enjoy:
Day 1
Day 2

Really good actually! I tried them back to back with minpins on the Friday and they were much easier to drive/more stable yet felt quicker at the same time, they mounted up really nicely too. Only downside was they seemed to wear quite quickly on the back of 2wd. Wear rate on 4wd wasn't so bad, in the end for me 2 sets did Friday practice and all Sunday in 4wd - 2wd was 2 fronts and 3 rears.

Agreed they were very good, but wear rate on my 2wd was crazy - 5 sets of rears! But really good in 4wd - I only used 2 sets and even they have a couple of runs left!
