Schumacher Mi4cxl Build Review
Posted on March 5, 2012 by Admin
In December 2010 I did a review of the Schumacher Mi4cx (you can see the review here) – I was very impressed with the car then and the Mi4cxl is the latest incarnation of the car. Chris Grainger, Martin Hofer and the rest of the team at Schumacher UK have been working hard to tick all the boxes for the new breed of touring car. The new car is an evolution, not a revolution, in that Schumacher have built on the already great CX platform which built on the Mi4LP before that.

The UMCC indoor championship review
Posted on April 26, 2012 by Admin
As I write this we have just completed a very successful indoors series at the UMCC with a large number of racers and four different classes of racing and it has been very competitive once again. At the start of the season I put together a bit of a writeup (which you can see here) and I thought I would do a summary of the racing under the same headings as that post;
Schumacher BTCC 2012 Championship Rd 1
Posted on April 26, 2012 by Admin
I don’t normally include news about the BTCC and BRCA championships but I think that everyone is watching both championships this year to see how the racing goes with everyone running 10.5 motors or lower. I think it’s a good thing as it means the normal club racer who races week in, week out, with 10.5 will be able to follow setups and also see what a car that is equipped with the same motor as themselves is capable of. The other reason for mentioning it is that Alan and a few other guys were over at Cotwolds for the race and Al ended up with a very good 8th place overall – bodes well for the rest of the year.
RCCAOI Rd 1 won by Alan Bickerstaff
Posted on April 14, 2012 by Admin
Alan continued his winning streak today taking Round 1 of the RCCAOI four round championship. It was not without it’s drama with Stephen Hill putting in a fantastic first final taking the win. Normality resumed with Al taking the second and third final to take the overall win. So it was two Associated cars and Graham Kenny took third place with his Tamiya 417. A great days racing.
