If you think this rig looks a bit like Levi Shirley’s winning Ultra4 racer, you’d be correct. Rob Butler, shown here driving an O.R.A. Eurofighter, just so happens to be the builder & retailer of these very same machines. Rob and Levi debuted two Eurofighters in Scotland at the King of the Glens, a race with enough mud to swallow up most Ultra4 machines (literally). After a few days of cleaning, and a little more tuning, Levi and Rob gave these Eurofighers a second chance at last weekends King of the Mountains. The result? Levi grabbed a 1st place finish and Rob grabbed a 3rd place finish. So, that’s two podium finishes for the all new Eurofighter, in one event! We expect to see more great things from these great machines, be sure to keep an eye out for more as the Ultra4 European season continues.
