So what exactly was surprising about my Bentley???!!!
It was my test bed car for the GT3 proxy, thought I would try to see how far I could take inline, but switched to AW soon after.

I heard the Cornfield Garage have got the Stig driving it this week
Finishing 6th today in the class, and 9th in the overall table

wow
what a mission , a good 8hrs
( thoroughly enjoyable though )the wife is pissed
and I'm knackered 
lol we have a tie for 1st place at Goldrock Class A
so the podium place went to the fastest lap car ( and cos its my car hehehe )
[attachment=14914][attachment=14915][attachment=14916]
two of the Class A cars ( porsche & bmw ) had such shallow guides that they didn't register on the timer
i didn't want to give them a 'DNF' , therefore i manually triggered the timer for these cars and just counted the laps and triggered again at the end
this obviously meant there was no fastest lap time available , hope that's ok with the organizers
just as an FYI
controller , Parma 25 ohm
track voltage , 10v
all cars completed the set 10 laps
I'm looking forward to seeing the difference when the cars hit Pendle Crossing tomorrow ( SCX & scally classic )

Re the thought's on my Class A Ferrari F430......
As this is was meant to be a standard Scalextric class, I left the standard Scalextric guide in place.
To deep on some layouts, crappy old Scalextric Classic or SCX apparently, but now to shallow for this layout. No wonder I race on a routed layout is it...
Still it got 4th place on the Devils Duke Hillclimb, so it obviously isn't that bad.

Thanks OXO for a full day of racing. Very pleased with the results from today. My battle scarred TR4 actually on a podium in its class C, my class A Subaru showing pace even with an off and my class B pantera getting a 2nd place! All on a day which is very significant for team Green Star Racing; so called in memory of my son who would have been 6 today
Looking forward to the next round!

Standard guide on my Merc as well, but I changed the braids to some soft copper ones (SCD)
