Race report and results - 7th August 2025 - Italian Cars (Proxy)
.
A great turnout tonight, 6 racers enjoyed a new club first!... let me explain what we did
.
We all entered an Italian car into this event but I suggested we try something brand new that we hadn't tried before, it would give the evening a Proxy event feel.
.
Instead of drivers being put into the lap timing program, the cars were listed.
.
The first three drivers drove their own car in the first heat, as the cars and drivers cycled through the listings, all six cars were driven once by all six drivers. We all drove our own car once (which turned out to be Yellow or Blue lanes).
.
For heat #2, the cars moved over one lane to the right with a new car on Red lane, whilst the drivers moved in the other direction, over one lane to the left with a new driver on Blue lane.
.
For Round 2 of the racing, the cars cycled through the same sequence as in Round 1, but the drivers were moved on three places. This meant no car was driven twice by the same person.
.
…and so to the results, which car won?... it turned out there were four different classes of cars, so four winners.
Comparison chart
.
In the end it all worked out great despite the confusion before we actually started.
.
Thank you guys for letting us drive your cars, it was a very enjoyable evening and the cars were all really good to drive.
.
…let’s do this again…!

Next week is Small Sports/Saloons followed by TV/Film Cars
