ArchivePress Footage:
Well another Great turnout 10 heats and some very close racing. Well done to Roger/Dale and the team Brushed A Main went to Dean Gibbs very closely followed by Richard Isherwood - Brushless went to Mardave Team Driver and 2008 World Champion Sam Gray. All On Mardave UFRA Rubber ( Don't settle for second Place). Look out for 2010 Mardave Circuit Championships dates will be release in January for this Five round Series.
This archive photo, taken after an early Paris 1/8 scale I.C. race meeting circa 1974, is interesting because it features a number of drivers who subsequently helped establish this great hobby in Europe and who have retained their involvement and enthusiasm to this day.  Far left, we believe is Pieter Bervoets who went on to start Serpent, the very successful Dutch Company. Centre is Keith Plested of PB who raced his cars just about everywhere in the world in the 70's and is still busy designing 1/5th scale cars today. To the right of Keith is, we think, Ronnie Ton who was also involved with Serpent. Far right is of course Ted Longshaw, ex slot car racer, long time R/C car nut, ex President of EFRA and still a well known U.K. Retailer. Second from right is Wes Raynor of Mardave with third place trophy from his only continental foray. Mardave subsequently concentrated on low cost entry level models with less opportunities for top level racing. We hope we have facts and faces correct, please let us know if not. Can you help? have you any old colour photographs of the Newbridge Circuit? if you or anyone you know have any pictures, we could use them on this web site. Please contact Mardave. Thank you.
