Race reports - 7th April - Small Sports/Saloons + Group 5
 
With Andy back from his trip down-under and a few not able to get down we had 5 club members racing tonight.
 
Small Sports/Saloons

   
 
Four Modified Class and one Open Class cars.
 
Geoff & Mike raced 3D Moggy Racers, both cars with S-can motors.  Mike lost out in the Red lane, other than that there was very little between them either lane scores or hot lap times.
Chris was testing a Scaley BMW before racing but went with his tried & tested E-type Jag that achieved three similar scores and a heat win.
Kev’s Chappy 2C isn’t as quick on a hot lap as Andy’s Cooper but was more consistent than last time out. Both drivers managing heat wins.
 
The closest race was heat #5 with Chris & Mike within a lap of each other.
 
Heat wins in heat order for Andy, Kev & Chris

   
 
Group 5
 
   

Three Standard Class and two Open Class cars.
 
Racer/Sideways rules Standard Class here, three different cars, Chris’s Nissan Skyline being a bit of a handful in the Red lane lost him time, otherwise he would have been really close to Geoff’s BMW 320i. Chris went well enough to win a heat.
Although Geoff’s BMW went really well it seemed a little down on lap time compared to recent outings.
Kev’s BMW M1 had a great run in the Yellow lane and two other similar lane times to keep clear of Geoff’s 320i.
 
The two Open Class cars went well, Andy’s BMW M1 was the quickest car round the track tonight and despite plenty of controller problems during testing seemed to manage around them in the racing.
Mike’s Capri always goes well, a couple of quick 26 lappers was on the pace of Geoff’s BMW.
 
The closest race was heat #3 with Mike & Chris within 4 seconds of each other.
 
Heat wins in heat order for Kev, Andy, Mike B & Chris
