Losi Take Top 2 Spots at Neo08

One of the world's largest indoor off-road 1/8-scale buggy races, Neo08, took place March 21-24 at the DXR Club, Harper Adams College in England. Two qualifying rounds took place on Saturday and Sunday, with the final races taking place on Monday. After five rounds of qualifying races Losi/GRP drivers Adam Drake and Mike Truhe, and Losi driver Darren Bloomfield took the top three positions respectively with their Losi 8IGHT 4WD Buggies. Drake and Truhe were both running GRP .21 Buggy High-Performance Engines, powered by Losi Nitrotane Performance Engineered Fuel.

Five Losi drivers competed in the A-Main race on Monday, including Adam Drake (TQ), Mike Truhe, Darren Bloomfield, Yannick Aigoin and Riccardo Rabitti. After 85 laps of racing during the A-Main, three Losi/GRP drivers finished in the top five with Drake (TQ) in first, Truhe in second and Aigoin in fifth. This is Drake's second consecutive win at this event, as he took first place at last year's Neo07.

Congratulations to all Losi drivers for their excellent performance.
