SUMMER GRAND PRIX PROXY EVENT ROUND 7 RESULTS....

EACH CAR WAS GIVEN A 10 LAP TEST SESSION LAST WEEKEND,  AND NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND. 

FOR THE TIMED EVENT EACH CAR WAS GIVEN A 25 LAP WARM UP,  THEN THE REAR TYRES WERE CLEANED USING MASKING TAPE. 

EACH ENTRY WAS THEN GIVEN A FURTHER 6 LAPS, BASICALLY FOR ME TO ADJUST TO HOW THE CAR HANDLED WITH CLEAN TYRES, AS THIS MAKES A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE ON THIS TRACK.      EACH CAR THEN COMPLETED A 25 LAP TIMED HEAT.

CLASS A -  EARLY FLYERS.  PRE 1961 FRONT ENGINED. 

   
   

THE MERCEDES W196 OF MOUNTAIN VIEW TAKING THE WIN BY 6 SECONDS FROM THE SIMILAR MODEL OF TEAM ROADRUNNERS.  THESE TWO WERE VERY WELL SET UP FOR A WOODEN TRACK.  3RD WENT TO THE BEAUTIFUL FERRARI SUPER SQUALO FROM TEAM RNLI, COMPLETE WITH 1 DESLOT, SORRY!   THIS ENTRY WAS ALSO GREAT ON THE WOODEN TRACK.   
4TH WAS TEAM CUBES SCARAB,  WHICH AGAIN RAN A TYRE ALMOST OFF THE RIM BY HALFWAY,  AND 5TH TO THE LOVELY BUGATTI OF ROAKERS ROAR, WHICH WAS A RIGHT HANDFUL ON THIS TRACK!

SUPER SET OF CARS,  AND JUST THE TYPE WHICH I COLLECT. THANKS GUYS
