EXTREME SLOTTING RALLY-RAID ROUND 6 - THE SEND SCRAMBLE 

CLASS R2  -  SCX


EXACTLY THE SAME SET UP TIME FOR ALL CLASSES.   2 PRACTICE LAPS,  THEN 5 TIMED LAPS. 

The SCX class entries drove quite differently on this course compared to the Ninco vehicles.
Much quicker across the obstacles, with 3 of the 6 finishers getting a clear round.   What they did lack was the same speed on the long incline.  They were a little steady up the climb, whilst the Ninco cars kept accelerating all the way to the top.   On overall times there was little to choose between them.

The top 3 all got round clear,  well done. 
 Class winner was the VW Touareg of Paul C.  The motor felt really good, you could really attack the course.  It skipped across all the boulders and obstacles.   Excellent entry.
2nd place was Hotlaps awesome Peugeot 405 TT.  Not the quickest on the flat,  or the climb, but really well set up, and only 3 seconds off the top spot. 3rd place to the Mitsubishi entered by James A.  As I noted, "Great drive, cleared everything,  very stable "".  
Andy P's  little Sandbuggy was brilliant.  Different to drive, it's power to weight ratio took a bit of getting used to.  One big de slot at the top of the climb on the sharp right turn cost it a certain Podium place. Savage GT's VW was just behind, and was real fun.  Sorry Oxo Cube,  your VW really struggled,  everywhere.   It seems to have much stiffer braids than the others, which didn't help.   Sad to report that the great looking Peugeot 405 TT of Lifeboats Racing was a  DNF.  It wasn't running great, then stopped completely on lap 3.  A broken wire to the pick up being the culprit.
