The first round of the prestigious Silverstone Winter Series attracted 92 entries in the premier 2WD buggy class, and it was new Schumacher driver Dave Poulter who unexpectedly set TQ. Dave has shot up the rankings since he joined the team, and he was joined at the front of the grid by team mates Simon Moss and Nathan Waters with their Cougar KFs.

6. Kev Lee – Team C
7. Eugene Galley – Schumacher Cougar KF

Dave led for most of the exciting final, but a small mistake near the end allowed Nathan Waters to dive through the gap to take the win with Greg Williams in second and Dave Poulter in third, Kev Lee fourth and Simon Moss fifth. Drivers travelled from all over the UK to the excellent indoor Astroturf venue. Many thanks to the Silverstone club members who put on a great event.
