So Round 4 at Viking SCC was run late into the evening last night but is all done and dusted.  Firstly, thanks to all the entrants for entering cars and giving us the opportunity to run them.

We adopted a slightly different approach this event and run the cars over 2 minute sessions rather than a set amount of laps.  Cars were raced in pairs for two minutes and then swapped between the two drivers and raced for a further two minutes in the alternate lane.  With the end result being accumulative distance covered from the two lanes.  Fastest lap times for each car in each lane were also recorded (and an average of these two fastest laps taken to use in the event of a draw in race distance).

Viking SCC is a 6-Lane Policar track using Slotmaster timing.  Races were run at 12v using Truspeed BP2 controllers.  To get some perspective, last month we were running our "tuned" Super Touring Class.  Using this as a guide, a time in the low 7 second region is very very respectable. The quickest cars and drivers were getting into 7.0 territory with the front runner reaching an isolated sub 7 second time. Our Slot It DTM class (which runs stock with the exception of tyres) returns lap times typically in the high 7's for a well set up car.

Video footage was taken of each round last night and I will edit and upload that as and when I get the chance between work etc. I'll upload the podiums and results shortly...
