And finally the 

Pitlane Review
The issue of the guides once again reared its head, I though I had done everything possible to ensure that all the entrants would fit the appropriate guides which would work on the shallow Classic Scalextric and SCX tracks. And as Woodcote said these are still fairly commonly used in Rally slot car events, even the Rally Club in Abergavenny still has some SCX and Classic Scalextric track embedded in some of their Stages. So it is a feature of this type of proxy event where these tracks are needed to make up sufficient number of stages and Rounds as many hosts do not have permanent fixed wood based Rally tracks.
So having failed in my attempt to use a persuasive approach, probably it would have been best to have used a mandatory requirement to use specified guides from NSR, Avant or Ninco. Although I am not planning another similar event in this Proxy series, it is something I think maybe necessary if we were looking any further ahead....

Event 1 (Monte Carlo)
So at last we saw 3 Jaguars on the Podium, very pleased to see RoadRunners in line version just ahead of the 2 sidewinders  
The Austin Healey of Green Star Racing which did so well on the last Round, falling foul of the shallow track guide slot as the others did. But it was great to see that the Landcrab of Novissime Iterum gave a respectable account of itself, I think a clever bit of photography by our host illustrated the 2 wheel cornering effect.....or was it real.

Event 2 (Rally Class B Cars)
Most of these car made it around the track in "donkey fashion" or was it the slippery track surface making them struggle, but we ended up with Woodcotes Porsche 911SC taking the top spot on the podium, Bangers Racing's Metro 6R4 having to settle for 2nd place and the Lancia 037 of Harrisons Racers in 3rd.
Another fairly miserable Round for Brumos RSR and Courtney Sport....perhaps better luck next time.

Event 3 ( Rally Legends)
Well the RoadRunners Fiat 131 Abarth is still there at the top, keeping the Porsche 914/6's at bay, not sure for how much longer .......probably not long at all.
So this time it was the Porsche 914/6 of Savage GT chasing my tail, and a rare appearance of the Triumph TR7 of SSRC coming home in 3rd.
In general a good Round for the TR7's Triumph over the Porsches I think 

Event 4 (WRC Modern)
Much better predictable run for the Ninco cars, must have lifted BARacers's spirits at the end.
The 1st Place Subaru of Woodcote Racing in its element on these difficult tracks, with Ruscillo Racings Citroen C4 2nd and Scott Sports Renault Clio back on the podium again for 3rd.

Overall Positions
Events
All over the place at the moment , with a battle of the Jaguars in the Monte Carlo Event.
Bangers Racing Metro 6R4 just about keeping its head above water.
RoadRunners Fiat 131 Abarth  wondering what happened to the Porsches
Woodcotes Subaru keeping ahead of the rest of the field.

Car Classes
Class A -Team Alaric's Subaru almost sharing the leading position with Scott Sports Renault Clio
Class B - Woodcote's Ninco Subaru just nipped ahead of the RoadRunners Fiat 13 Abarth.
Class C - The Porsche 914/6 of Savage GT having been  about the only car not to have suffered too much on the last Round is now leading the class.

Team Points
Team Savage GT lost out with the BMW M1 this time allowing Bangers Racing to reach the top of the table.
RoadRunners happily in 2nd place.
Harrisons Racers making into 3rd.

New appearances in the top10 are 
Ruscillo Racing =7th 
SSRC =10th

Team Alaric still hanging on in joint 10th place with their lone Subaru car 

So we are going a little further North  to Woking to catch up with next host curtesy of DPD.... I hope
