Definitely looking forward to the race report on this one... grid shake ups galore!

RE: WHO Winter Rally-Sprint Proxy 2021 REPORT - woodcote - 27th-Feb-21

Before I start on the results & standings, just a quick word on the cars that didn't do so well this afternoon...

There was one Class A car, three Class B cars and three Class C cars that didn't complete the stage and were given the default maximum of 180 seconds. If it was possible to get to the end, I did. Apart from Doug & Noah's Audi (couldn't see anything obvious - probably the motor...) and Rebecca's Subaru (flimsy Policar guide snapped right off on the practice decent...) the issue was long guides.

The Classic SCX and Scalextric slot doesn't have a flat bottom - it is essentially an open ladder. Any guides that are too deep and 'pointy' get stuck on the rungs. Quite a few cars struggled, but those five cars couldn't make it more than a few feet without getting stuck or getting catapulted out of the slot.

I want to respect parc fermé conditions - so sorry Alan, I can't change your wheels and tyres! And I won't be doing major surgery on the long guides or replacing a motor for Doug or repairing Rebecca's car. I will, however, have another quick look at the Audi and I will take a small nick out of those four guides to create an angle. If that works out tomorrow morning, great. If not, that's rallying. And it also depends if I have time tonight after getting the results and standings done!

Having said that... it was a magnificent stage to drive. These are - for different reasons - the eight cars I enjoyed driving the most...

The stage looks like great fun to drive. It’s good d to get some variety in a rally and this stage certainly provided that!

I shall tease out the Class A and Class B standings after the next stage, but - at the moment - Graham has the lead in all three  

See you at 6am... The link to the live feed is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/462997231719061

Class C will go first, then B and finishing with Class A.

great job andy 
happy to see a proper rally track setup 
some cars maybe better suited to BTCC events in warmer climes , good to see real rally cars show their prowess

Good morning 

It looks like we’ll have 46 cars starting the stage - the first car is scheduled for just after 6am.

The course car has been through the stage... I have the ambient lighting just about okay - cars fitted with lights with certainly have an advantage for this first hour...

See you on Facebook at 6am https://fb.me/e/1ZyrEELYJ
