Pitlane Review
Another Round of drama, perfectly run for us by Pip. 
The 1st stage on another of those "now notorious" SCX Tracks, this time perhaps a little easier without the classic Scalextric track to cause more chaos 
Still puzzled as to why the Alfa Gran Turismo refused to work on the "Shed End" Stage, but I guess it does not suit the truly vintage cars.
It did give me cause to reflect on the time penalty aspect, as this Round was shorter then the previous one , so I had to ensure the non runners would not be left behind, and as such when I looked back there was good reason to amend the Default time aspect and right a previous injustice on my Round. It is difficult thing to judge as everyone's Round is different and I can see that the default time penalty aspect may need to be different for each one.

So in general most of the cars made it around the tracks to the relief of most of the entrants, loved the SCX start line, I have one but yet to find a suitable layout for it to be included. The "Shed End"  truly one I would personally like to have a run at, very technical like my own Carrera track.

I think Pip has covered the Round narrative very well, so I will concentrate on the consequences of the Rounds actions.

Event 1 (Monte Carlo)
ManxAndy Jaguar XK120 finally made it to the top spot this Round with a great run.  A very well built car.
ManxKev Jaguar XK120 doing a supporting run and not very far behind, and RoadRunners perhaps a few cylinders short this time. 
Green Star Racing's Austin Healey too close for comfort in 4th, I am thinking this could be very strong contender depending on the remaining tracks.
The Cortina of Lifeboats Racing and the Landcrab of Novissime Iterum seem to be locked in battle, the Alfa Gran Turismo has defenitely lost its mojo.

Event 2 ( Rally B Cars)
Still Bangers Racing Metro 6R4 on top at the moment, but 2nd Place Green Star Racing's De Tomaso (old favourite of Proxy battles) has suddenly found form, so one to watch closely. 3rd place Harrisons Racers Lancia 037 perhaps struggling a little on all those corners giving away a little ground.

Event 3 (Rally Legends)
Well RoadRunners Fiat 131 Abarth, still there in the 1st place, but I fear soon the swarm of Porsche 914/6's will be all around me 
Savage GT Porsche 914/6 in 2nd place is the nearest so far, the next tracks are favourites of the Porsches so the pressure is on now.
BARacers Triumph TR7  still keeping up the pace in 3rd place.

Event 4 (WRC Modern)
Woodcote's Subaru lost abit of ground to 2nd place Ruscillo Racing's Citroen C4 which ran really well on the last Round.
And Team Scott's Renault Clio finally made it past the Subaru of Team Alaric for 3rd place, looking very strong and is my "Dark Horse" tip for a top 3 finishing.

Car Classes
Class A (Standard Slot Cars)
As above it seems Scott Sports Renault Clio have nicked 1st place in the class ranking from Team Alarics Subaru. With Harrison's Racers Lancia 037 keeping 3rd.

Class B ( Modified and Scratchbuild) 
Well again my Fiat 131 Abarth has regained the lead in this class with Woodcote's Subaru dropping to 2nd and Ruscillo Racings Citroen C4 in 3rd.

Class C (procars)
Savage GT's Porsche 914/6 currently in top position, with Green Star Racing now beginning to stretch its legs, could be an interesting battle to ensure here. 
And in 3rd place the Jaguar XK120 of ManxAndy looking very strong, but can it keep off the other Porsche's ......umm

Team Placings 
well some more changes here, with RoadRunners sharing the top spot with Bangers Racing, but Savage GT and Green Star Racing teams very close behind.
New to the Top 10 Teams are SSRC sharing 10th Place with ManxAndy, ManxKev and Mountain view for the first time.
