Race reports · Neoland 2026

On the way back home from Neoland 2026!

What a crazy finals day, ever changing track condition made things a little more tricky than expected. After struggling a bit in A-main Warmup with my tire choice I decided change my mind for A3 of E-buggy just before it was time. It turned out to be the perfect call as my package was amazing once again and I could put pressure on Davide and eventually got by him to grab the win in the EP class. My Xray XB8E with Cayote & Hitec electronics equipped with HotRace tires was flying all weekend🚀

The E-buggy mains were great fun and it was a close and clean race with Davide all the time! Great job to him and Marcus on the podium finish👏🏼

Going up for the nitro main I had to make the decision on tires and this time I got it wrong. I stayed with Clay like in EP but should have gone with Clay Hard. The beginning was just fine but I could feel my tires starting to get slick sooner than I thought. This made the run time drop by one minute as I had a lot more wheel spin. I just made it into the pit for the third time and ran out of gas right as dad was putting the fuel inside.

It dropped me back and it was a battle to keep the car in the line until the end. I did the best I could but with mega grip in the line and zero grip in the dust it wasn’t easy. In the end I ended up 6th.

Of course it wasn’t the final I wanted to have after the incredible speed we had all weekend but it was just a bad call on my side not to put the harder tires which I held in my hands before the main hehe. We live and we learn!!

Great job to Canas on his victory and to Davide and Elliott for the podium finishes.

All in all I’m very happy with my performance this weekend. We showed that even though I didn’t race 1/8 for a looong time we are still right there. It’s time to work for hard for the big races coming up this summer.

Thanks to all my sponsors and mad respect to Miguelo and his whole crew for putting on a flawless event back at this amazing venue with the best dirt in the world!

Onto the next one🤘🏼😎

Neoland 2026 done 🫶🏻

P1 nitro buggy
P7 eco buggy

First of all congratulate Miguelo, Laura and the whole Neoland team for again doing one of the best races of the calendar! Thank you!

Regarding the race a complicated weekend in which we tried many things for the final mind give the key to the nitro final 🔥

In echo we had some problems on our sleeves and came out P5 in a difficult track to advance we did not manage to improve the result and finished P7

In nitro after starting the final and finding myself very comfortable, we squeezed and managed to make P1 and a very good final.

My HIGHESTRC with the new SWORKz RC 321 extreme motor, REDS RACING wheels overdose in silver composite, JConcepts Inc B251 servos and Flysky RC Model transmitter ran perfectly for the 45 min run.

Congratulations to ronnefalk for his win in echo, my team mate Elliot boots for P3 in nitro and to Davide Ongaro for P2 in nitro.

Thanks to the whole sworkz team for the help this weekend, to my dad for working hard all weekend and to micha for the help in the pits 🫶🏻

See you this weekend in San Roque for the second test of the Andalusia championship!

Neoland 2026 at the fabulous Harper Adams University is done🔥🇬🇧

What a great event Miguelo Izquierdo Rodriguez and Laura Remesal Gamez put on, good job guys😎

It was so nice to come back there, great memories and races.

About our race, pace was good, everything was good. Had a great fight with David Ronnefalk for the win in A3 of ebuggy, which a small mistake cost me the P1, so ended P2 overall🔥

In nitro, all was good, first time with Matrix Racing Tires there and of course it was difficult to choose compound and tread. But overall was a good final for me, just need to find the fast rhythm early.

I’m happy about how we worked as a team to find the right balance of both cars, and this will pleat for sure a big role later this year.

I want to say thanks to my family, girlfriend helping my dad during fast pit stops, all AE team (Brent Thielke, Craig Drescher), all friends and of course all my amazing sponsors🫶🏻

What a Blast this last weekend

My first time at the @neoland_race and Oh My was it a fun weekend. It was tough times working through the ever changing conditions, but we got the cars pretty good I would say.

I managed to score a 13th and a TQ with my @teamassociatedrc RC8B4.1e putting me 10th in the final. To be honest this should have been at least top three, but mechanical issues and bad driving makes your dreams of winning 100 times harder!

In the finals I where able to score a 2nd and a 4th putting me 3rd overall for the tie break. Really happy with this score, starting from that far back. My package was amazing with @hotrace_tyres_factory tires, @savoxusa servoes, @hobbywingtechnology power! And @teameam_inc with great mileage for the 10 minute finals!

Nitro buggy was a different story, scoring a 4th and a 6th in qualifying putting me 6th overall for the starting grid, I was ready to whip my RC8B4.1 around the beautiful track. Buttttttt, didn’t get far as a reved my engine too much and caused a stall…

With mistakes and stupid crashes, I could only let my self down with a P11 overall.

My O.Sengine was amazing, I had 10:48 minutes of run time, which was amazing! Combined with energy fuel!

Overall really happy with me and my dads working ethic, we did not give up, until the very end!

Thanks to @brentthielke and @drescher.craig for coming over with ever lasting support and good times!

Thanks to @joonahaatanenrc and the rest og the #WeAreAE family for a great weekend!

Thanks to my dad for still coming to these events

Butt hold on! I’m on my way to the airport but, not to go home!

Thanks to all my sponsors who support me

Neoland 2026 is done. What a great race, track was awesome and it was just really good to be back at this event.

We came away with a 3rd place after a hard fought final. Fist time at this event with my new GRP tyres and they did not disappoint, getting better and better during the final and taking the fastest lap 4 laps from the end. 
29.5🚀

My Sworkz car was amazing to drive and super consistent throughout the final. My Reds 321 estremo delivered incredible power and economy. Thank you to all my sponsors for there support. 🔥🔥

Thank you to Stephen Guppy for his help in the pits the whole weekend and to Mark Jones for his help in the pits in finals. Thanks boys 💪🏼

It was also amazing to have so many of the Sworkz team and customers at this event, as always a great vibe with everyone.

Now a few days to prep and reset to get ready for the first national this weekend at Herts.

🤩 P4 in Nitro and P4 in Eco Buggy — super happy with the results, even if I was just this close to the podium in both classes 😅

In Eco, it came down to a tiebreaker and I ended up with the slower run… and in Nitro, I chose the wrong tire compound for the final, which made the last 15 minutes really tough. But it’s all part of the learning process, and I’m proud to keep improving every race 💪

Really happy to show what VP-Pro tires can do — they worked amazing all weekend 🔥

Big thanks to Colin, my dad, and the Hahlen family for all the support 🙏 couldn’t have done it without you! And great job to Davide as well 👏

Already looking forward to the next one 🚀

Quel week-end incroyable ici en Angleterre pour la Neoland 🇬🇧🔥
Tout d’abord, un grand bravo à Miguelo et à toute son équipe pour le travail réalisé et cette superbe piste 👏
Côté résultats, je termine P6 en E-Buggy et P10 en Nitro. Très satisfait de la performance des voitures et de mon pilotage tout au long du week-end 💪
Pas mal de malchance sur les départs avec, sur les 4 finales, des accrochages qui me font repartir dernier à chaque fois… mais je n’ai rien lâché pour remonter à chaque manche 👊
Avec à la clé, à chaque fois, des chronos dans le top 3 des meilleurs tours dans les deux catégories.
Le matériel a encore une fois été au top : mes voitures Team Associated, électronique LRP GmbH, moteur Ultimate Racing, pneus Hotrace Tyres Factory, carburant Nitrolux et servos Sanwa France un ensemble performant et fiable du début à la fin 👌
Un énorme merci à mon mécano Sebastien Mure ainsi qu’à mon père pour leur travail tout au long du week-end 🙏
Merci également à Edu et Robert Battle pour l’aide sur le moteur, à Jamie Hall pour les ravitaillements en finale, et à Nicola Marrone pour le support et les conseils sur les pneus Hot Race.
Félicitations à toute la Team Associated pour les résultats, ainsi qu’aux vainqueurs 👏
Encore une fois, un grand merci à mes parents, ma sœur, ma copine, tous les gens qui me suivent et tous mes sponsors ❤️
Retour en France demain matin, avant de repartir dès jeudi pour la deuxième manche du Championnat de France 1/8 E-Buggy 🔥

What an incredible weekend here in England for NeoLand 🇬🇧🔥
First of all, huge congratulations to Miguelo and his entire team for all their hard work and this amazing track 👏
As for the results, I finished 6th in E-Buggy and 10th in Nitro. I’m very satisfied with the cars’ performance and my driving throughout the weekend 💪
I had quite a bit of bad luck at the starts, in all four finals, collisions meant I had to restart last every time… but I never gave up and fought my way back up in every race 👊
And each time, I clocked lap times in the top 3 fastest laps in both categories.
The equipment was once again top-notch: Team Associated cars, LRP electronics, Ultimate engine, Hot Race tires, Nitrolux fuel, and Sanwa servos, a high-performance and reliable setup from start to finish 👌
A huge thank you to my mechanic Sébastien Muré and to my father for their work throughout the weekend 🙏
Thanks also to Edu and Robert for the help with the engine, to Jamie Hall for pit stop in the final, and to Nicola Marrone for the support and advice on the Hot Race tires.
Congratulations to the entire Associated team on the results, as well as to the winners 👏
Once again, a big thank you to my parents, my sister, my girlfriend, everyone who supports me, and all my sponsors ❤️
Heading back to France tomorrow morning, before leaving again on Thursday for the second round of the French 1/8 E-Buggy Championship 🔥

Ever since seeing the Neobuggy race back in 2012 ..ive always wanted to attend it…but was gone by the time i race professionaly. So we entered the Neoland 2026 taking place at the Harper Adams University in the UNITED KINGDOM.  What a professional very well run and organized race….just hands down incredible.
—
They said tires is everything here in Europe..well they are right. Congratulations Jconcepts and Juan tripple C for winning the main event 45 min Pro Nitro buggy.
——-
So how did Phi did this weekend? He made the A main in both classes PRO NITRO/Pro eco. Overall 7th in Pro nitro
And 9th pro eco. European drivers are so fast here..the layout is super fast and smooth. The competition is but the highest. On a track like this…speed around corners and consistency is King. I personally think Europeans are fast here cause they have more Round about then stop light on the roads haha.
——
This weekend..even with the best equipment we had and 95%well setup in pro nitro buggy..we could only mustard up a 7th..but if you look at the A main line ups…we are pretty proud. We learned a huge amount.. patience/never give up and just overall do our best. 
____

We had no traction from the start and had to make setup changes to accommodate by making everything super soft ..then its the opposite as the traction increased…..our Kyosho Mp11 reacted to everything we changed…its that 👍. Using the ebuggy heats we managed to collect and made final changes and as usual last min changes too.  Thank god ..the changes we made satisfied the picky  Kyosho driver..unfortunately it wasn’t perfect setup but was 95% good.
—— 
Thank you to all the Jconcept drivers inputs at the race ..you know who you are. And to all Kyosho drivers.

¡ @neoland_race 2026 ya es historia!  

20 años después de mi primera final A, sigo con la misma ilusión de estar ahí, compitiendo tanto en Nitro como en eléctrico… y más aún sabiendo que es mi último año en esta carrera.  

Las finales no salieron como me hubiera gustado, pero cuando arrancas desde atrás, estas cosas forman parte del juego.  

Eso sí, no puedo estar más orgulloso del equipo. Sworkz ha estado a un nivel brutal: @canas_rc marcando un ritmo imposible de seguir y @elliottbootsrc firmando una increíble P3. Y ojo a @mattia.politorc , que sin ese problema mecánico habría estado peleando también por el podio.  

Mención especial para AnsweRC: más de 35 pilotos representando la marca… ¡una auténtica locura! 😍  

Y para cerrar, chapeau para Miguelo, Laura y todo su equipo. Tomar el relevo de la Neo y montar un evento así en su primer año tiene muchísimo mérito.  

Españoles por el mundo del RC: cada vez somos más, carrera tras carrera. Ojalá sigamos empujando juntos, creyéndonoslo de verdad, porque lo que estamos construyendo es algo muy grande… y el futuro del radiocontrol pinta espectacular. 🔥

🇬🇧NeoLand 2026 is a wrap!  

20 years after my first A final, I’m still incredibly happy to be lining up and competing in both Nitro and Electric… especially knowing this is my last year racing this event.  

The finals didn’t go the way I hoped, but when you start from the back, that’s just part of the game.  

That said, I couldn’t be prouder of the team. Sworkz was on another level: Canas showed an unbelievable pace that no one could match, and Boots delivered an amazing P3 finish. And shoutout to Polito as well — without that mechanical issue, he would’ve been fighting for the podium too.  

Big credit to AnsweRC as well: over 35 drivers representing the brand… absolutely insane! 😍  

Last but definitely not least, hats off to Miguelo, Laura, and the whole team. Taking over the Neo legacy and delivering an event like this in their very first year is seriously impressive.

Neoland 2026 is done 🇬🇧 
First of all, I would like to thank Miguelo, Laura and their team for bringing back an iconic event after so many years and still with the same feeling like in the past 🙌🔥
Racing wise I got the A-Main in Eco-Buggy where I finished P13. In Nitro I just missed the A-Main and finished P16 after being close for a bump-up in B-main and LCQ.
I am super happy with how my whole package worked and how we could improve after a very rough start 🦾
Huge thanks to Georg for all his help as always, to Carlos for helping in the pits, to Nicola for awesome tyre support and to Robert and the whole SWORKz Team for working great together and improving all the time 🫶🔥
Next stop - back to 1/10 for EOS RD2 🇸🇰

✅ Neoland 2026… what an awesome event!

Big congratulations to Miguelo and everyone who contributed to making this event such a success!

Talking about my race, I’m happy to have made both A-Mains, but not satisfied with the final outcome.
I finished P14 in both Nitro and E-Buggy Pro A-Mains.
My race started well with solid qualifying in both classes, managing to secure the A-Mains with a P8 and a P10.
In the finals, things didn’t go our way.
The E-Buggy final was quite messy, and in the Nitro final some issues didn’t allow us to fight until the end for a top 10 position.

It has been an amazing experience, I’ve definitely learned a lot and I’m sure the next finals will be a different story!

Thanks to Brain for these intense days, and all the WIRC team,
Biggest thanksFranco for giving me this opportunity, and all my sponsors for their great support!

✅Neoland 2026! Che figo!

Complimenti davvero Miguelo e Laura Remesal Gameza tutti quelli che hanno contribuito al successo di questo evento!

Parlando della mia gara, sono contento di essere entrato in entrambe le A-main ma non per l’esito finale!
Finisco p14 nelle A-main Nitro e Eco Pro class.
La mia gara era partita bene con delle buone qualifiche con entrambe le macchine riuscendo a centrare entrambe le finali con una P8 e una P10.
Nelle finali Eco é andato tutto un po’ storto e nella finale Nitro che alcuni problemi non ci hanno fatto lottare fino alla fine per la top ten!

É stata un experience fantastica, ho sicuramente imparato molto e sono sicuro che le prossime finali saranno diverse!

Ringrazio Brain per questi giorni di fuoco, tutti i ragazzi del team WIRC

Più grande grazie a Franco per avermi permesso di partecipare e a tutti gli sponsor per i loro super materiali!

NeoLand 2026 🇬🇧

Really happy to make both Pro A-mains with my Team Associated rides this week 🙌
E-buggy mains were mostly watching from the side since had 2 unfortunate equipment failures in A1&2 – For sure had more to give since had good starts and climbing close to top5 everytime before needed to retire

Nitro main was something I was really looking forward to – first proper long main running with the big dogs. Unfortunately, it never really took off since maybe made the wrong tire call, so it turned into surviving from lap 1 and staying out of the way of the faster guys until the last time crossing the line.

On the positive side, the cars were working awesome all week and the engine felt really good. Still learning with Matrix tires as this was my first race with them, but definitely a lot to take away and improve for next time.
Overall, a great event and a lot learned 💪

Huge thank you to Craig for the help in the pits and on the gun with Max! And all of the team for continuing to push forward.

Already rebuilding and leaving for EBM race in LA Speedway Racing Club e.V. this weekend!

Puedo decir bien alto , Neo ha vuelto 🙂
El duro trabajo  y un sacrificio increíble  han merecido la pena para conseguir el evento europeo más grande de la historia.. 
quién me iba a decir a mí la última vez que vine a competir a esta gran carrera, que sería yo quien un día la organizase .
Quiero agradeceros a todos por confiar en nosotros y venir hasta primera edición, cuando nadie sabía cómo sería o qué se encontrarían .  Entre todos hemos conseguido que siga siendo reconocida en el mundo entero.. 
No puedo estar más feliz con el equipo que tengo al lado, Pedro y Laura se encargaron de este increíble montaje durante 10 largos días,16 horas de trabajo diario para conseguir tener todo a tiempo y construir por primera vez todo el material traído desde España !!! 
Sin duda ,ha sido uno de los retos más grandes de esta primera edición, . 
Sergio quesada  y Sergio caballero , dirigiendo la pista de una manera impecable , llevando todo con un control absoluto, haciendo uno de los mejores tándems en la dirección de carrera que he visto .
Alex y Laura no han permitido ni un solo minuto de retraso , llevando 14 carreras simultáneas  en jornadas de 16 horas de pista. De los mejores cronometradores mundiales sin duda .
Pedro y yo haciendo que no falle nada y todo salga bien , que todo el mundo esté a gusto y tengan los mejores condiciones para pasar cuatro días de locura
Ha sido un año de duro trabajo para finalizar con cuatro días increíbles
50000 pasadas en el circuito y ni un solo bache .

Gracias RCTV por un Life de primer nivel y enseñar a todo el mundo  lo que montamos alli, sois los mejores sin duda . 
a los medios de comunicación rcworld , rcspecial  por dar cobertura al evento . Muchas gracias Matt box , Matt owen , Leon Morrel , Paul

Neo ha vuelto

¡Comienza la cuenta atrás , Neo 27 está en camino!

🇬🇧
One of my personal challenges has been met!!!!
I can proudly say, Neo is back 🙂
The hard work and incredible sacrifice have been worth it to achieve the biggest European event in history.
Who would have told me the last time I came to compete in this great race, that one day I would be the one organizing it?

I want to thank you all for trusting us and coming to the first edition, when nobody knew what it would be like or what to expect. Together, we have ensured that it continues to be recognized worldwide.

I couldn't be happier with the team I have by my side. Pedro and Laura took charge of this incredible setup for 10 long days, 16 hours of work each day to find the time to build all the equipment brought from Spain for the first time.

Without a doubt, it has been one of the biggest challenges of this first edition.

Sergio Quesada and Sergio Caballero, managing the track impeccably, keeping everything under absolute control, forming one of the best race management tandems I have ever seen.

Alex and Laura didn't allow a single minute of delay, running 14 simultaneous races in 16-hour track days. Undoubtedly some of the best timekeepers in the world.

Pedro and I made sure nothing went wrong and everything ran smoothly, that everyone was comfortable and had the best conditions for four crazy days.

It's been a year of hard work culminating in four incredible days.

50,000 laps on the circuit and not a single bump.

Thank you RCTV for a top-notch live show and for showing everyone what we set up there; you are the best, without a doubt.

Thanks to the media outlets RCWorld and RCSpecial for covering the event. Many thanks to Matt Box, Matt Owen, Leon Morrel, Paul,
and Lewis Baker, Mitch, and some volunteers who helped us at key moments, facilitating any problems that arose before we arrived in England. Mark Rumble, thank you for your help and visits to work together and ensure nothing was missing (you'll be the future of RC, my friend, you're a true professional). Phill Mortstedt and the DXR team are honored to continue this legendary project.

Thanks to all the sponsors for collaborating with us; they are a very important part of our success.

Thanks to Lisa and Ian from Harper Adams University for treating us like family and providing us with every convenience.

And of course, thanks to Laura, because without her, this wouldn't be possible. Hundreds of hours of work together ensure that not even the smallest detail is overlooked, leading this amazing team hand in hand. When everything is done with passion, things like this happen 🙂 You're an amazing promoter!!!

And of course, thank you to each and every one of you who have shared this dream with me.

Forgive me if I've forgotten anyone, so it's just as important.

Two years ago I asked if the button would turn, and we've finally turned it all the way.

Neo is back!

The countdown begins, Neo 27 is on its way!

Neoland Race done and dusted! A fantastic experience made possible once again thanks to @tempeltonpec and @remesall ! Such great memories flooded back when we walked back into Harper Adams University on Thursday. Thanks for everything, guys! You did an amazing job.

Regarding our race, we reached the B final in both categories.

In E-Buggy, after a rather uneven qualifying run starting 10th, we managed to find a good setup and enjoy the finals, climbing to 7th place in the combined B final of the three finals.

In Nitro, we had a terrible qualifying session after trying several setup combinations, as we couldn’t find a comfortable position the first two days. This led us to revert to our base setup and start over, ultimately achieving a P16 finish in Q2. We had Q3 remaining, but a mechanical failure only allowed us to complete one lap.

In the finals, we started 6th in Final C, which we managed to climb thanks to just one pit stop, easily advancing to Final B. Once there, after running in the leading group for the first 10 minutes, we ran out of fuel in the pit lane, and that ended any chance we had of making it to Final A.

I’m happy with how we performed on the last day, as our pace wasn’t far off from the best guys in the world!

Thanks to all my sponsors, my dad, and the guys from XTR and Juanmi for the great weekend we had!

Seven long years have passed since a racing lap was last turned at Harper Adams - hallowed ground for so many in the sport.

This Easter weekend marked the return of the ‘Neo’, not just in name, but in spirit.

Once more, the most famous dirt in all of RC was moulded, manicured and mastered, this time by Miguelo Izquierdo Rodriguez and his very able Buggyland team.

Once more legends were made and lap times etched into history.

I couldn’t be prouder of what they achieved. Delivering a temporary track for a single race weekend; complete with facilities, services, and all the finer details that elevate an event from, ‘another good race’ to something truly exceptional, is a monumental task. The build-up is exhausting before the first car even leaves pitlane, and the financial commitment alone is a gamble.

The reward is as brief as it is brutal, with little time to enjoy the moment; just as the crescendo of anticipation spills over on racers' first look, the race is over in a flash and the tear-down of the venue starts as soon as the chequered flag falls a final time. Banners coming down whilst podiums are being celebrated, the driver’s stand dismantled, all that hard-work and preparation gone in a matter of hours… a fleeting ghost-like existence which only added to the mystique.

The appeal of the Neo grew as word spread of ‘the best dirt in the world’. Combine that with truly three dimensional track design, no home track advantage, slick race management, the world’s top drivers and accommodation on-site and you have the ingredients for an unforgettable long-weekend of racing. Harper Adams became a mecca, racers descending from all over the globe to make the pilgrimage to race the Neo.

The Neo would never have been success it was without the DXR boys; Lewis Millman, Wes Myles, Andy Conroy, Anthony Conroy, Rick Kong Mckenzie, Mark Beattie, Paul Moggy Morris, Elliot Taylor, Ben Turner, Chaz Godwin, Ricky, Gurdeep... on the race control side, Suzanne Griffin, Kevin, Rob Nelson, Stefan Svensson, the Jones family, and not least on the creative & media side Nick Daman, Mat McCallum, Arnaud, Jason Moller, Riccardo Acciari, Chris Circus and of course Adam Lewis for his part in the story. There are many more who thanks are owed to, not least the racers themselves and their families.

To leave a legacy of an event that’s part of the folklore of nitro off-road is heartwarming and to see it come back to life to the same standard and bring enjoyment to so many has made me very proud. Miguelo gambled and won - he stands on the shoulders of what the DXR boys built with myself - he should stand proud & tall.

It is with regret having not been able to be there this past weekend to support and see old friends and faces but equally with such pride and affection towards the quality of the event, I tip my hat, bravo - see you next Easter. 
/ Phil

Long live Neoland!
Here are some wonderful memories over the years.

Back home from the Neoland, what an incredible event Miguelo Izquierdo Rodriguez, Laura and their team put on at Harper Adams👏
Already looking forward to the next edition 2027.

My race could have gone better, but with changing track conditions all the time it was hard to find the right setup and tire compound for the conditions. We have learned a lot and gained a lot of knowledge for the next events. Overall I finished P20 in Electric and Nitro and took P1 in Electric 35 class with my WIRC Professional RC Cars SBX4E. Congrats to all winners. See you all at the next race.

The Fantastic NeoLand race is complete!

I was able to take home the win in +35 (young, I know) and represented well in the Pro class. Finishing in the B main and 3rd in the Last chance, just shy of where we needed to be.

My FX powered XB8’26 was fantastic. Running 10 minute pit stops from the 303L. Small tweaks to the XB8 made it a joy to drive and was super solid all weekend with no failures, even when double classing with the same car!

Thanks to Hotrace Tyres Factory for supporting me through the event, Sanwa for the perfect radio gear and vortex fuel.

Huge well done to the NEOLAND crew. A great track and superb referee! You did a great job, everyone.

Another big thanks to Leon Morrell and Lizzy Morrell for looking after me

Thanks to all these legends below that support me and make all this possible. It was great to get out with the 1/8th again (it had been a while) and we go again this weekend at BRCA R1!
