Race reports - 2nd June - Le Manx
A good turnout for the first of two Le Manx events this year. Group C and LMP cars were seen in almost equal numbers.
Standard Class was an all LMP affair with most cars and all from different manufacturers. Brian hastily chose to race his SlotIt Porsche…which turned out to be a spot on choice as you’ll see in the handicap results. Gav was racing the sole NSR tonight, the Audi R18 tamed with his new controller and went well in the Yellow & Blue lanes. Mike’s Avant Peugeot was involved in a few two-cars-in-one-tight-corner incidents…some people never learn and had a best run in the Blue lane and three clean runs.
Modified Class was a SlotIt Group C with NSR Shark motor battle, Geoff’s Toyota stopped on track with a broken guide wire, the race was paused whilst the pit crew got it repaired…only for the other wire to break in his final race which required a car swap. Unsurprisingly his best run was in Yellow. Kev’s Jaguar went much better in Yellow & Blue than the Red lane which caught the car out with one deslot and couldn’t find race pace in qually (in the Red lane) which would have seen a better finish in the handicap results.
Open Class was a mix of Group C and LMP, Chris opting to race the Dome Judd which does go well and looks great and was actually the third fastest car on track tonight. A best run in Yellow for Chris. Andy’s Toyota (same livery as Geoff’s Modified Class car) was quick and consistent, a best run in Blue and a couple of heat wins. A good overall result and a super close handicap result…to be revealed later
I’ve done two results charts, a normal results sheet with Standard, Modified and Open class results and the second results sheet where the cars are listed on how close they were to their ‘predicted result’ using their best qually run lap time.

Next week sees a change to the race calendar as we’ve swapped these two weeks around. So next week is Small Sports/Saloons & Group 5
