Race Report
Here are the results from the Norfolk round. As Tel was laid low with the lurgy I had to run all the classes myself which was no great hardship as all the cars were just first class and a delight to drive. I love playing with other people's cars although they do show up my own lack of preparation skills. I couldn't build cars as good as these in a month of Sundays.

Each class was given a 25 lap run on my track, obviously I didn't drive them as hard as I would have in a competitive club environment and the aim was consistent running at about 95% of their capabilities avoiding any crashes and damage if possible. I am pleased to report that the whole event was run with just two off track excursions which didn't affect the results and is a true testament to the quality of the entries.

Class A - early flyers
Pretty similar results to the first three rounds here with the two Mercs to the front and the Scarab not far behind. The Bugatti and Ferrari, being taller more bulky cars weren't able to challenge but they are beautifully presented and a credit to their builders. Graham's W196 took the victory this time but only just.
       

Class B - Classic
Courtney's late entry Cooper was the class of the field but Graham's similar car was not that far off and may be able to challenge in later rounds. Bangers' Porsche 804 was a real revelation, it was a super handling car and could have been a contender for top spot with a faster motor and/or different gearing.
       

Class C - Legends
This was an absolute cracker with the top two places separated by just 2/10ths of a second over the 25 laps. Their times were virtually identical throughout their runs with just a single oversteering moment the deciding factor between the two. Paul's Shadow DN1 just pipped Steve's Ferrari 126C2 to the winning post with Chris' FW11 not far behind in third place.
       

Class D - Modern
Identical results to the first three rounds here so I think this class may have been settled already. Courtney's McLaren again the class of the field with a remarkable sub 5 second fastest lap, which is usually the province of my Thunderslot and Scale Auto GTs, but all the cars were pretty quick. I was surprised by how well the stretch limo Williams tackled the corners and it too turned in a superb fastest lap.
       

All that remains now is to pack up the cars for their trip North and thank all the entrants for allowing me the privilege of running their wonderful creations. I can't wait to see what turns up in the parcel for the Autumn proxy.
