Nice track Ade

...is it me or is this new track much quieter than your previous one as there seems much less of a plastic track sound.

It's the same track we've had the last few years; although it is quieter than the Scalextric Sport track we had a few years ago. It tends to be noisy if people glaze their front tyres (or use very hard tyres) because of the rough surface.

If I'd seen an issue like that with a car at our round of the proxy I'd secure the body like I just mentioned above, to make sure it was OK to race.
Yes, that's what we did. Not perfect, but should hopefully prevent the risk of weakening the other mounts....

Thank you.
I used a different super glue (cheaper) to fix these body mounts into the bodyshell, I will be going back to the tried and tested red and yellow UHU super glue in future.

Sorry for the delay chaps... Here is the event 3 video. As you may have seen on the event 2 video, my GoPro ran out of battery part way through event 2. This meant I had to switch to my phone which I wasn't planning on. Needless to say, my phone promptly ran out of storage (as you will see as one heat of event 3 get's cut short). Luckily I was able to make some room and film the remaining heats.
