Race reports - 6th January - Club Revoslots + Club BMW 320i
 
The start of a new year and the start of a new look race calendar.
 
This year we’re mixing two club class races numerous times this year, tonights mix was Club Revoslots followed by Club BMW 320i’s
 
Using club controllers was optional, two drivers used them.
 
Club Revos…great race cars, the tyres have polished rather than worn and although they are basically exactly the same car, all three have their own personality.
 
The Marcos in Yellow was everyone’s quickest car on a hot lap and race pace except Mike B who’s best race was the blue Dodge Viper.
 
Kev seemed to have a good advantage with the Marcos and Viper but the races with the red Porsche were very close.
2nd to 4th was very close as Chris, Geoff & Brian finished overall less than 0.4 of a lap.
Although Mike managed the 2nd fastest hot lap his overall race pace was a little off the three ahead.
Ed is getting better each week, racing himself rather than cars that go past, the gap to the cars ahead will start to reduce this year as he becomes more consistent.

   
 
Club BMW 320i’s…new motors, NSR Shark 25’s…but they really need new tyres and one has a damaged pod, nevertheless a 6.2 in Blue shows how quick these are.
 
It was close at the top, Brian could have won with a 27 lapper in his last race…in Yellow…with a car that was suffering most with grip…in fact he was top scorer in both Red and Yellow…but Kev does like Blue lane, with the only 28 lapper all night.
 
Geoff & Mike were also having a super close night, Geoff quicker in Red, Mike quicker in Yellow (as Geoff had a bit of a ‘mare) with next to nothing between them in Blue.
 
Chris who was flying with the Revos couldn’t keep up with the guys ahead whilst Ed finished a lap closer with the BMW’s than the Revos and said he enjoyed them more than the Revos.
