Race reports - 28th July - Small Sports/Saloons + Group 5
 
 
Small Sports/Saloons
 
   

Standard class cars are rarely raced in this class as there isn’t anything on the market that’s competitive…that is until recently as Revoslot have released a Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA…shortly to be followed by a Mk1 Escort then a BMW 2002.
 
Six entrants for tonight's racing, a couple of resin AC Cobras (Gav & Kev), a couple of small saloons (Chris & Geoff) plus Andy & Brian’s Alpine & Healey.
 
Kev’s best run was in Blue
Chris’s best run was in Blue
Andy’s best run was in Red
Brian’s best run was in Yellow
Geoff’s best run was in Blue
Gav’s best run was in Yellow
 
Heat #3 was the closest of the six heats with Geoff, Gav & Brian finishing within 10 seconds of each other.
 
Heat wins for Kev, Brian & Andy
 
     

Group 5
 
   

Racer/Sideways Gr5 cars have dominated Standard class for years. An easy car to modify as the chassis is compatible with SlotIt SW pods which makes them quicker and easier to drive.  Gav & Brian both racing Racer Gr5’s with SlotIt SW pods in Modified class. Brian’s Capri was the car to beat last time out but tonight lost out in Red, taking it a little easier knowing full well laps-mean-prizes.  A best run in Blue for the Capri.  Gav’s Ferrari was found to have multiple issues before racing started, Andy kindly let Gav borrow a similar car and he raced it well with a best run in Blue.
 
Three different cars in Standard class, all three are regulars, Geoff, Chris & Kev.  Chris’s Nissan Skyline has often looked badly lacking in grip but tonight was flying round with a hot lap actually faster than Geoff’s BMW 320i but Geoff was more consistent whilst the big Skyline struggled a bit in Red. A best run in Blue for the Nissan.  An 80 lap total for the BMW 320i was a great result for Geoff with a best run in Blue. Kev’s BMW has gone well this year in Standard class, a best run in Blue tonight and 83 laps. 
 
One Open class car, Andy’s BMW M1 flew round with a couple of 29 lappers and an 85 lap total.
 
Heat wins for Andy, Geoff, Kev
