Saturday July 26th race night
Due to holidays we had only 6 people at the club night but racing was close and good fun as usual.
The Support race was for the club Peugeots, with new Slot it P6 tyres fitted.
Racing was fast and furious with many heats having 3 cars side by side lap after lap, Mark Jay being the winner with only one de-slot in all 4 races.
The Feature Race was for owner/driver 'open Rally cars’, with the first round being run clockwise, the second anti-clockwise (or v.v?) With the laps combined, the overall winner was Mark Jay with another consistent drive.
A very colourful grid fielded cars from eight different 1:1 manufacturers.
British Leyland Metro 6R4's by MSC
Fiat and Citroen by NSR and Ninco respectively.
Audi by Scalextric (?) and a Lancia (make unknown)
... and finally an MSC Subaru with Ninco wheels?
With a lack of track marshals, when a car came off in front of the drivers rostrum the driver, in his haste to put it back, took the 'Elbows out' 1:1 commentator phrase a bit too literally, accidentally nudging the closest driver off the rostrum and onto the floor. It was deemed a 'racing incident' although he did incur an unofficial verbal warning!
In the reverse race heats, a marshal 'forgot himself' and put a car on backwards, even though the race had been going for nearly 4 minutes. Could it have been the elbowed driver taking his revenge?
Can we have VAR for club race nights?
As the final screenshot shows, racing was very close, with just 3.4 laps covering all six drivers.
Next Race night will be Sat’ August 20th, featuring owner/driver American Muscle and Nascar cars with 20K rpm motors maximum.
