And finally InterSeries (Class D)
Well yes my driving skills deteriorated even more so with these cars
Some of them too fast for it to be a fair comparison on my short and twisty track perhaps, but it was really great running them.
As a matter of interest I use my Scalextric Aston Martin Vantage fitted with Magnets to check the track is consistent, as I know I can run it with the controller full throttle all around and the car won't de-slot. So it is a good measure to check that there are no track issues before I start the timed runs for the proxy, and the lap time over 20 laps is 7.8 secs plus or minus 0.1 sec. So anything staying on the track below this is in the "Super fast" League status. And we had a couple last night
The Ferrari 512M of Savage GT is relatively slower to start with but after around 5 laps is flying, interestingly the lights also seem to take some time to become charged. The Porsche 917/10 of Courtney Sport is on the money right from the sprint line, consistent throughout and you just want to run it to it's limits, and sometimes over it's limits as I did on two occasions last night
To me this was a PERFECT drive, sorry I lost you the top spot on the podium, as it really did deserve it.
The Mclaren of Brumos RSR did not feel quite so adventurous but nevertheless performed as I am sure the Team owner would have liked, and glad I was able to fix the back axle issue before we had started. The Ferrari of ALS was a dark horse, again I had not really seen this one potentially challenging for a podium during the practise run.
The little Alfa T33 of Mountain View was a delight to run, again I just over cooked this one, but a pleasure to drive.
At the bottom end the Lola T260 of Rokers Roar was great to watch running, did not require alot of careful control, but I am sure the Team will not be too surprised at the result relative to the nature of this very fast class of cars.
So I need to get packing, the overall results will be announced in due course.
