King Advances to Semi-Finals @ Argentina
Defending World Champion Cody King will progress to the Semi-final after the American scraped through from his 1/4 Final just ahead of Serpent’s Billy Easton. Having bumped up from the early 1/8 final which he won, the Kyosho driver had a terrible start to the 30-minute encounter as his MP9 ended up on its roof leaving him last of the 12 car field as he needed marshaling.

Cody King Moves Up to the 1/4 Finals @ Argentina
The final day of the 14th 1:8 Offroad World Championships has arrived and getting the day underway was the 1/8 Finals with the biggest news from the two 30-minute encounters being that defending World Champion Cody King, who ended up in the 1/8 B final after qualifying in which he ended up in 38th, will progress to the 1/4 Finals.
The Kyosho/Orion driver had a slow start to the race but worked his way to the front to eventually take the win ahead of the Serpent of pole position starter Billy Easton. The same race saw the end of the event for 2006 World Champion Mark Pavidis who finished 5th.
In the earlier 1/8 A Final German Kyosho driver Carsten Keller took a comfortable win ahead of Australian TLR driver Craig Laughton who started from pole.

Chassis Focus – Elliott Boots Inferno MP9 TKI 3
Chassis Name – Kyosho Inferno MP9 TKI 3
Engine – Novarossi Plus .21-4BTTS
Tires – AKA
Radio/Servos – Sanwa
Remarks – Worlds Top qualifier Elliott Boots is running a standard Kyosho Inferno MP9 with the only small change for this event being a new harder material used in the rear lower wishbones. The newly crowned British National Champion is running a similar setup to that used back at home which utilizes softer springs to help cope with the bumpy conditions, something he has experience of racing on back home.

Kyosho’s Elliott Boots has claimed the honour of Top Qualifier for
the 14th 1:8 Offroad World Championship after the much anticipated and
talked about heavy rain arrived over night in Argentina forcing the
cancellation of the sixth & final round of qualifying. Waking to a
wet morning in Buenos Aires drivers made their way to the track in the
hope that they may get to run today but shortly after 09:00 local time
even more torrential rain along with thunder & lightning arrived
leaving organisers little option but to cancel today’s racing.
The cancellation means qualifying has been called on each driver’s
best three runs from the five rounds that did get run with Q3 & 5
pace setter Boots taking the overall TQ honours from Warm-up Race winner
Robert Battle, the European set to line up on pole position for their
respective Semi finals on Saturday ahead of American aces Ty Tessmann
and Jared Tebo. Boots TQ, the 19-year becoming the first British driver
to take the honour, is the second consecutive TQ for defending
champions and the sports most winning manufacturer Kyosho who in
Thailand topped qualifying with Tebo.
Reigning World Champion Cody King ended qualifying in 38th position
and so will start out his title defence from the 1/8th finals.

Boots/MP9 is Argentina Worlds TQ!
Qualifying at the 2012 Worlds ended in a dramatic anticlimax, initial
impressions of the track this morning were good, but a serious soaking
at 9AM saw it saturated with water and things looked bleak for those
outside the top 16 after 5 rounds. The organisers sent the track crew
out to tentatively work on trying to prep the track for some form of
racing and it was heard that any racing today would have to be started
by 4:30PM in order to finish at a reasonable hour.
IFMAR held a couple of meetings at midday and it was concluded to scrap the final qualifying round and use the three from five rounds count, the result is TQ going to the Kyosho/Novarossi/AKA driver Elliott Boots. It breaks the trend of three TQs going to US drivers ('10 Tebo, '08 Truhe & '06 Pavidis) and thus the first European since Yannick Aigoin in 2004 to TQ. Elliott will be hoping to repeat Mark Pavidis' heroics from 2006, the only man in recent history to manage to convert his TQ into a World Championship win, judging by Elliott's historical Q5 run where he blitzed the rest of the field by a 13 sec margin he's in a good position come Saturday.
