Race reports - 20th October - Club Revoslots

   
 
With five club members and two never having driven these before it was going to be an interesting evening.
 
The cars were last run in June so a fair few cleaning laps were done before the start of the first few heats.
 
Club controllers were used by all except Paul who decided to use a 55 Ohm CS controller and despite only minimal adjustments available the cars go remarkably well.
 
Everyone went quicker in Round 2 except Mike but he did dramatically improve his fastest race lap second time out.
 
The final heat in Round 1 was the closest heat, although Mike won he was only a lap clear of Paul & Brian who finished within half a lap of each other…Kev as the sole marshal was kept busy at times!
 
Ed & Paul had never driven these before and both did a good job.  Paul matched Brian & Mike with the yellow Marcos which is a bit of a flying machine.
 
Mike outscored Brian in Round 1 but Brian outscored Mike in Round 2.
 
Kev went really well in Round 1 but managed an extra half a lap in Yellow and Blue and kept calm with the red Porsche in Round 2 improving by three laps.  Two wins in Round 1 and three wins in Round 2.
 
Brian also managed to improve by three laps, the biggest improvement also with the red Porsche.  Two wins in Round 1 and three wins in Round 2.
 
Mike’s best three lane scores were all in Round 1 and won all three of his heats but couldn’t keep that up in Round 2.
 
Paul opted for a resistor controller and found it was far too high an ohmage to keep up on track.  He did manage a heat win in Round 2 and a super close finish in the final heat in Round 1 just two seconds behind Brian.
 
Ed hasn’t raced anything this quick before and with a controller that doesn’t have the ability to turn the top speed down struggled to properly control the cars but managed a best result with the blue Dodge Viper in Round 2.
 
Round 1.
Heat wins in heat order for Paul, Kev & Brian
 
Round 2.
Heat wins in heat order for Brian, Mike & Kev
