Pitlane Review Rounds 1-6
so after 6 Rounds or 12 stages we have entered the 2nd half of the competition. I fully expected this Round to be all about the faster cars winning out, but surprisingly at least to me there was still strong competition between all the car types.
Monte Carlo
Here we saw the 3 Jaguars jousting for podium positions at the top once again, and this time it was ManxKevan's to take the podium.
But overall the picture looks familiar
           1st Place                   2nd Place                        3rd Place
         ManxAndy                   ManxKevan                      RoadRunners
           Jaguar XK120             Jaguar XK120                  Jaguar XK120

With the Austin Healey of Green Star Racing in 4th. At the back of the field the Alfa Gran Turismo of Groundhogs at last able to stretch its legs on this Round and has just nipped ahead of the Landcrab of Novissime Iterum.

Rally B Cars
This was a good Round for the podium winner Savage GT with the BMW M1, with the De Tomaso of Green Star Racing in 2nd place and the Metro 6R4 in 3rd. 
Overall the status quo is maintained but there is close competition between 2nd and 3rd and perhaps even 4th going forward.
            1st Place                   2nd Place                      3rd Place
           Bangers Racing           Green Star Racing           Harrison's Racers
             Metro 6R4                 De Tomaso Pantera          Lancia 037

Rally Legends
Another reprieve for the RoadRunners Fiat 131 Abarth, a very unexpected 1st place podium in front of the two Porsche 914/6's. The overall positions remaining largely unchanged but Brumos RSR Porsche 914/6 is catching up.
            1st Place                     2nd Place                     3rd Place
            RoadRunners               Savage GT                    BARacer
            Fiat 131 Abarth            Porsche 914/6               Triumph TR7

WRC Modern
Another very close Round for the Modern Rally cars. Ruscillo Racing's Citroen C4 getting back on top but very close behind was the Citroen Saxo of Bangers racing and to complete the trio of Citroen's was a surprise appearance of the Citroen C4 of BARacer. However this means that Ruscillo Racing are back leading the Event series with Bangers Racing just getting ahead of Woodcote Racing's Subaru.
              1st Place                      2nd Place                    3rd Place
              Ruscillo Racing             Bangers Racing            Woodcote Racing
              Citroen C4                    Citroen Saxo                Subaru

In 4th Place a very close Renault Clio of Scott Sports.

Class A (Standard RTR Cars)
              1st Place                      2nd Place                     3rd Place
             Scott Sports                  Team Alaric                   Harrison's Racers
             Renault Clio                  Subaru                          Lancia 037

Team Alaric Subaru just nipped ahead of 2nd place Harrison's Racers Lancia 037. 
   
Class B ( Modified & Scratch builds)
               1st Place                     2nd Place                       3rd Place
               RoadRunners                Ruscillo Racing               Bangers Racing
                Fiat 131 Abarth             Citroen C4                      Citroen Saxo

Very closely contested  Class, RoadRunners just maintaining their top position, but Ruscillo Racing has displaced Woodcote and Bangers Racing have made it into 3rd place.

Class C ( Procars)
                   1st Place                    2nd Place                     3rd Place
                 Savage GT                    Manx Andy                   Green Star Racing
                 Porsche 914/6                Jaguar XK120               De Tomaso

A discrete gap between the Porsche 914/6 of Savage GT and the 2nd and 3rd places which are virtually on top of each other with ManxAndy just about ahead at this point of Green Star Racing's De Tomaso.

Team Points
1st Place -Bangers Racing have extended their lead after a great run by both their cars.
2nd Place -Road Runners just keeping position.
3rd Place - Savage GT is staging a comeback after initially leading the teams in the first Round.

So it has been another really enthralling Round of ups and downs and it is was very much appreciated that the Abergavenny Rally Slot Car Club gave up some of their time to run this Round for us 

I see the cars have already reached Paul at Wrexham for the next two Rounds 13 & 14, who I am sure will be along soon to show us the great Denbigh Slot Car Club Rally Cross track he will use along with his own home based Policar Track
