UK's Javan Candy, and avid 'gamer' racer has taken a great win at Silver Dollar 2 (2013 WC lay-out) over dominating and Series 1 leader Marcin Malinski. Matthew Stacey from Canada fought off a very well deserved 3rd over Frederik Boden from Sweden.
Malinski made a big error at the start of the race and repeated this 2x at about the same spot but managed to grab the lead over Candy after some 8 minutes of racing. It was then between Marcin and Javan almost till the end of the 20 minute race but a bad pitstop of Malinski handed the race to Candy. He well deserved win over an almost unbeatable Malinski! Make sure to watch the video to see the battle unfold.

The release date was set for the day the event would start. As it drew closer to that day the anticipation mounted. Drivers began to grumble about the late release and VRC ended up releasing the track a week early leaving plenty of time for set up and practice. This was a great decision based on the difficulty level of the track. Traction was good, on a scale from one to ten I would rate it a 7. The 14 turns and 10 jumps left drivers scratching their heads in wonder. It was apparent that turning faster lap times would require a perfect setup, jet fighter reflexes, patience’s of a saint and a little bit of luck. The fast line seemed to lead to an off camber jump out of every turn and this gave the short course t... read more
