VWDRC Take another record at Easter Thunderball!

We've just heard news from Easter Thunderball at Santa Pod where VWDRC Rookie Sam Young has run 12.3737 @ 108mph in his Electric Beetle.

This makes Sam not only the first electric car to race on an equal footing against petrol cars in competition but the quickest electric car in Europe!!

Well done to Sam and his team from all of us in the VWDRC that can't be there to congratulate you in person!

EDIT: Sam actually went on to run 11.95 and 11.98's later on in the weekend, backing up a 11.95 European record! First 'Electric 11' in Europe! Well done Sam!
