Hyper 8.5 Hobao factory driver Graham Alsop took TQ and the win at the prestigious Apex GP at Slough.

Graham had a hard battle for pole position with RC8 driver Elliott Boots, but it was the Hyper 8.5 who came out on top to take the qualifying honors.

By taking TQ Graham avoided the lottery of a semi final and this was what accounted for Elliott and meant the young man from Kent was unable to take his place in the main final. Elliott was unlucky as a receiver lead pulled out and ended his challenge.

The main final saw Graham drive fast and controlled, using his power package to stretch out the fuel stops to 10 minutes which gives a big advantage at Slough due to the very slow pit lane. Graham went on to win unchallenged from David Crompton and Jon Hazelwood.
