It was Saloons and Sports last night at the Manx SCC, the five of us entering this proxy decided to race our proxy Saloons alongside the regular Saloons, it was great racing and they didn't disgrace themselves at all, one or two almost matching the lap times of regular Saloons.

One thing that opened my eyes was just how kind these lower powered motors are on tyres, 4 of us running Shark 21.5k motors, the cars are slightly underpowered so don't tend to kick the back end round which means the tyres aren't getting scuffed on the lane braid in corners, consequently the tyres get polished which gives them a lot more grip which starts bringing the lap time down...the other upside is the tyres should last MUCH longer
